Internationalisation
Coventry University has developed an International Strategy to take us to 2020, which sets out our internationalisation objectives and is underpinned by developing the international capacity and capability of our staff, enhancing our international research and establishing growth in delivery overseas.
By investing in the global capabilities of our staff through targeted training and experiences overseas, we can drive forward professional development and the overall value staff bring to the classroom.
“Internationalisation” is key to Coventry’s success and is embedded in everything we do. All staff have “international objectives” as part of their yearly appraisal process and personal development is key to achieving these objectives. There are many ways that staff, both professional services and academic, can support our International Strategy and help create truly “global graduates”.
Travelling on behalf of the University, in any form, gives staff the opportunity to experience different working practices in an international context, meet peers from various cultural backgrounds working in diverse communities.
Coventry University is one of the UK’s leading recruiters of international and EU students, with over 6,000 students from over nearly 130 different countries. 25% of the student population is from outside the UK. We are an externally-facing organisation, built on innovation, enterprise and with a firm commitment to internationalisation.
