Celebrating 50 Years of Business in Coventry
The Faculty of Business and Law has launched an exciting anniversary campaign to celebrate 50 years of business at Coventry University. That’s 50 years of world-class teaching, research, innovation and producing some of today’s most renowned business leaders.
50 Years of Success
A lot has changed over those 50 years; we’ve grown from the modest Lanchester College of Technology to Coventry Business School, and are now one of the top universities in the UK – ranking 15th in the Guardian University League Table.
Our success is a great testament to our commitment to providing first-class globally relevant education, and to the high calibre of our teaching staff over the years.
To mark this occasion, we’ve launched a year-long campaign that will bring together Coventry University alumni, students, employees, partner organisations and both the local community and international community.
Over the year we’ll be hosting a number of initiatives, events and activities, ranging from an Alumni Gala Dinner, to a series of guest lectures, a community day and a historical timeline project.
You’ve played an important part in our rich and vibrant history, now we’re inviting you to be a part of our future success story. To help us celebrate 50 years of excellence in Business, you can take part in events, connect by spreading the word via social media and lots more. Check out what you can do in more detail.
Events
We'll be hosting a range of events throughout the year, not just in the UK, but worldwide to mark our 50th anniversary.
We kick-started celebrations by hosting our biggest ever alumni gala dinner which took place at the famous Coventry Cathedral.
