Jesal Sampat

BEng Mechanical Engineering

I chose to study at Coventry University

because o its reputation and excellence in

teaching in Mechanical Engineering. I am very

glad and so proud o mysel because I chose

Coventry over our other UK Universities I

had oers rom. The lecturers are brilliant and

answer all your queries very politely. They

even help you with other problems which are

not related to the course. I personally like the

concept o the Add+Vantage Scheme which

lets you study a subject apart rom your coursewhich you always wanted to know and learn. I

am sure this will also increase my employability

chances. The best part o Coventry University

is that it is in the City Centre and there is

always something going on. I sometimes even

eel that the City Centre is inside the University

campus! I also fnd CUOnline and the eLibrary

system very useul. I can easily read lecture

notes and reerence books sitting at home. The

sta at the Student Centre and the International

Ofce helped me a lot or my admissions as

they oered me a place on Year 2 as they

recognised the three year diploma I did in India,

which most other Universities in the UK dont

accept. I am very grateul to them. I am so

happy that I have made plenty o riends rom

literally all around the globe in less than a monthater coming here. I am enjoying it so much that

I have already started thinking o doing my post

graduation rom here.
