Statistics

Thank you for being interested in our staff and student profiles by equality analyses. In this section you will find many data sets on our staff and students. To read more information on Equality and Diversity at Coventry University, go to the Equality and Diversity homepage, or read our supporting documents, including policies.

We are particularly pleased by the increase in staff who have informed the Institution that they have a disability or long-term health condition. We also welcome the increase again in students from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds choosing to study at Coventry.

Where available, comparisons are given with the whole higher education sector and modern universities (also known as post-92s or new universities).  This term specifically relates to any former polytechnics, central institutions or colleges of higher education that were given university status by by the government in 1992 as well as colleges that have been granted university status since then.

Please note that the documents below are the most recent statistics available for each year, so may be dated the previous calandar year.

HESA and HEIDI

HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) is the central source for collection and dissemination of statistics about (publicly funded) UK higher education. 

HESA run HEIDI (Higher Education Information Database for Institutions) which is a web-based information service on this data. It provides access to HEIs to all the data that is collected by HESA via subscription.

The purpose of the above information is to demonstrate how the University is working to deliver its duties within the Public Sector Equality Duty of the Equality Act 2010; that being to have due regard to the need to:

• eliminate discrimination;
• advance equality of opportunity;
• foster good relations between those who share and do not share a protected characteristic.

Information from the previous years is retained on the site to allow year-on-year comparisons.

Accessibility

All information is available in other formats, including hard (printed) copy in standard or large print. We aim to make all information accessible, including to people using assistive technology. Please do let us know if you have difficulty accessing or understanding any of the data. Recommendations on how this can be improved are really welcome.
