Embracing Culture 

Coventry is a melting pot of different cultures, and immersing yourself in the local way of life is an essential part of the university experience.

Join university societies, attend cultural events, and make friends from different backgrounds. You can part in Chinese New Year celebrations, where you can experience vibrant dragon dances, enjoy traditional performances, and savour mouth-watering Chinese themed foods. Events for this are held throughout Coventry and further afield in Birmingham.

Being in the UK though doesn't mean you will forget about your culture, you will still have local Chinese communities within the university that can make you feel at home: https://www.coventry.ac.uk/international-students-hub/partnerships-and-places-to-study/confucius-institute/
