Entering its thirteenth year of operation, Coventry University London is firmly established as a successful, dynamic and innovative provider of a distinctive portfolio of courses, which leverage our location in the City of London, a global centre for finance, business and the creative industries. Our mission is “to deliver career-ready, globally enterprising graduates by providing a real business and professional experience” and we aspire to develop independent, agile learners who are in control of their future and prepared to become global citizens. This mission permeates every aspect of our operation and drives our success in achieving high levels of student satisfaction, graduate employment, entrepreneurship and further study. We recognise the importance of the academic quality of our staff as well as the relevance and currency of our curriculum in achieving this mission. 

Coventry University London was stablished in 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Coventry University and is part of the Coventry University Group. It has since developed to a fully-fledged campus with over 4000 undergraduate and postgraduate students and is now a full member of the London Higher and the Chartered Association of Business Schools. Three academic departments offer a number of BA, BSc, generic and specialist MSc and MBA courses. Courses in the areas of Accounting, Finance, Economics, Marketing, Hospitality & Tourism, Fashion Management, Entrepreneurship, Human Resources & Organisational Behaviour, and Strategy & Operations Management comprise a continuously growing curriculum that is always reviewed and developed according to Coventry University’s corporate plan, the continuously changing landscape of Higher Education in the UK, our mission statement and our vision.

With over 100 nationalities represented in our student and staff bodies, we are a truly global community committed to delivering a rich, international student experience and preparing our students for global careers. Coventry University London occupies University House in the City of London, Cutler’s Exchange where the Postgraduate Centre and a state-of-the art Financial Suite are located and has recently expanded to 102 Middlesex Street, directly opposite the main campus building, following its substantial growth in the past few years. Leading the expansion of Coventry University Group’s footprint in the capital we are proud to also see a great and sustained increase in all student experience metrics.

As we continue to grow and develop to deliver our Corporate Plan, we are looking for an exceptional individual who shares our passion for our mission and is excited by the prospect of helping to shape and lead our future. Under the guidance of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, the Academic Dean role will be pivotal in providing the strategic and operational academic leadership required for Coventry University London to continue performing exceptionally in every front.
