I've been looking to apply to this university and it's only been one thing after another. I had to apply to this university through UCAS (I don't know if this is something that all universities do). There's a section in the online application that asks me to give the name and contact details of someone who could provide a reference. I couldn't complete this part because I haven't been a student since 2018, so I don't even know if any of my former teachers still work for my school or college. I can't provide anyone from work due to the company's data protection policy. I tried speaking to the university in person about my predicament, and they said my workplace could overlook the policy since they're only asking them to provide a reference for me. I told them that I couldn't provide the work email address or phone number because this breaches data protection on the company's behalf, and people have been dismissed for giving out this information in the past. They still didn't offer me any sort of solution to my problem. There's another section of my application asking for previous qualifications and it'll tally up UCAS points. When I was filling out this section, I only had to provide anything equivalent to an A Level or BTEC qualification. I received an email from the admissions team assuming that I'm still waiting for results as I didn't give them my GCSE results in maths and English because I didn't know they needed them. I tried popping into the university myself so they could scan all of my certificates in person. It turns out they don't even have an admissions department on campus to help me. The lady working the front desk told me there's a chance that the course that I've applied for might not even run anyway because she doesn't have any applicants on the system. I applied to study Law and Practice with a foundation year. I couldn't jump straight into the degree as I haven't studied anything related to this previously. It feels like a lot of hassle for a university.

Although l love my university, the building itself is super hot.. It's started already, and it's not even summer.. It is difficult to concentrate sometimes, while we have to keep doors shut for fire hazards.

I had a terrible experience with Coventry Universityβs Dagenham campus. They are quick to collect tuition fees, but once payment is made, their concern for students seems to disappear. Several students, including myself, were accused of non-attendance despite having valid proof and reasons, and were reported to immigration authorities without proper investigation or warning. It feels like their main interest is collecting fees rather than providing quality education or supporting international students. There is little to no communication or transparency from the admin team. Many students are left stressed, uncertain, and ultimately deported unfairly. This treatment is unacceptable and unethical. I do not recommend this university, especially for international students who expect support and fairness.

This place does not feel like a university at all. There is nothing to do besides sit in the canteen or attend classes. There are no sports, extracurricular activities, or meaningful student life. I absolutely do not recommend this place, especially to home students. The only minor positives are that some courses donβt have exams and a handful of teachers are decent. However, these small pros are nowhere near enough to compensate for the lackluster experience.

Especially For You β ββββ
As a British home student, this university feels more like it's located in New Delhi than the UK. 99% of the student here are international students, and I often found myself questioning whether I was even in the right country. This place barely resembles what a university should be. From the moment you enter, the smell of curry hits you, and most students don't even speak English fluently. There are no proper facilities, no clubs, and no societies. The experience is limited to going to outdated classrooms that feel like primary school and visiting the canteen, where the food is subpar, overpriced, and offers no variety. This place does not feel like a university at all. There is nothing to do besides sit in the canteen or attend classes. There are no sports, extracurricular activities, or meaningful student life.

However, these small pros are nowhere near enough to compensate for the lackluster experience. The years I spent at this university will go down as some of the worst in my life. I deeply regret giving up the chance to have a proper university experience, only to spend it in this environment. If you're an international student looking for a real university experience, avoid this place. And if youβre a UK student, donβt make the same mistake I did. I regret it more than I can express.

Be careful if you are an international student. The admission process is awful. The staff seems to me to be confused and tend to misguide or gaslight. From my experience at this university I would say they are unprofessional to say the least and definitely money centric. Hope I saved you the headache.

I am graduating from CU London with LLB (Hons) Law and Practice. CU London provides top notch law education and I am very happy that I started my Legal training here. The tutors are fantastic. Mode of assessment is excellent for people who dislike writing examinations. I recommend CU London to people who wants flexibility in their legal education.

I started my degree with GSM London and when they gone in to administration I moved to CU London its one of the best choices I have made. I have met some really good people from the reception to cleaners. The lecturers are so professional and can respond to you as quick as they can. Classes with Raza Mubasher are always fun, he is one of the best. I enjoyed his lectures. He teaches amicably and focuses on the practice work much. He breaks the lengthy accounting calculations and makes it easy

I enjoyed my study at CU London. The teaching method is very nice and I had an excellent lecturer who wants nothing than the best from students.
