I wish Rugby had a Uni willing to help redevelop the town centre TBH. It's a hole full of empty shops, pound shops, card shops, charity shops and bookies and a shopping centre and multistory car park that are an eye saw and need knocking down. The out of town shopping on the Leicester road is great but without doubt will be the final nail in the town centres coffin. Rugby isn't exclusive to this phenomenon, it's a national issue. Trust me, Coventry is lucky having the Uni. The city centre would be a wasteland already without it
It is, I repeat, the all or nothing. Anywhere, anything that does that takes an allmighty risk.
I will agree with you ref: Elliot's Field. Thought Rugby town centre had stood up pretty well, really, but losing M&S will be the start of a slippery slope I fear.
Don't think there's much wrong with the Clock Towers as a space btw!
I heard there's a brewery there and "second sport" that used to be there where people went to buy football boots!
RugbyTapThe brewery is a new one on me to be honest
Postgraduate students study 12 months a year. Coventry University College enrols students every 6 weeks as they teach on a modular basis. The Uni now has a May intake for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as intakes in September and January. Some International students study between 30 and 5 weeks English leading up to these intakes. The Uni also offers summer schools.
It is a fallacy that all students disappear in the summer.
Sure I read somewhere there is change ahead both from Europe and Visa's for students from the sub continent.?How will Brexit affect our student population?
Is that accurate or Is 17 shop stewards but numerous affiliated roles.Off topic but after the ' all parties' agreeing on cuts yesterday was alarmed to hear the council pay 900k per year on trade unionists even though they are not employed by the council and there are only 17 of them......
Hmmmm to be honest not sure, only going by what the 'bumbleing' tory mp said on the phil upton show on cwr yesterday.Is that accurate or Is 17 shop stewards but numerous affiliated roles.
Sounds a lot, doesn't it?
Sounds like a creeping expense caused by having a Labour Council elected for years on end. Time for a change.Is that accurate or Is 17 shop stewards but numerous affiliated roles.

Students are currently split into two groups: Home/EU and International.How will Brexit affect our student population?

In terms of EU recruitment it has the possibility of causing catastrophic effects as currently a large number of EU students have access to the student loans which make studying at a UK University a very real possibility rather than a distant pipe dream. If the student loans stop (they are currently protected by EU Law) then expect about a 75% reduction (at least) in EU student recruitment to the UK and a 95% reduction in specific countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania, Poland etc.
However, the student loan system is also not the only major problem that could effect EU student recruitment it is also the uncertainty as to whether EU students will be able to stay in the UK on completion of their degree to work which is a massive, massive draw. Currently EU students can through the freedom of movement, however, International students had their post study work visas withdrawn 5 or 6 years ago so if EU students have to fall into line with International students then it is unlikely they will be allowed to.
Saying all of this paradoxically Brexit has actually been good for International student recruitment due to the pound weakening which makes it even more affordable for students across the world to come and study in the UK so the light is still on and burning brightly for the Chinese especially!
If the government do decide that EU students cannot access the loan and work after their degree they then are going to find a massive hole in money coming into the UK and a massively depleting workforce! Honestly I have no idea which way they are going to go, however, the likes of the Netherlands, Danish universities etc. are sitting in the wings licking their lips ready to mop up all of these students.
The likes of Canada and New Zealand in particular are also really upping their game in terms of international student recruitment so they are now serious considerations for students, alongside the UK and the US (although we have yet to understand the Trump effect yet!) so the whole industry is very volatile at the moment and with the new REF results being introduced then it would not surprise me if a couple of Universities closed down altogether. Warwick and Coventry will not be one of them though.
Pretty sure Second Sport is an Eastern European supermarket now.
Understandable but the University is now considered a 'large' University so a reduction in student numbers from the EU won't have much of an affect and the Uni will continue to invest in its facilities and the City.Thanks for that comprehensive explanation. I was a bit concerned that Coventry is putting a large portion of it's eggs into one basket. Still am to an extent.

Although I am clearly biased.
Coming over here, stealing our cheap football boot shops! :emoji_scream:
Looks like RICS have pulled out.
Why would you start building it without a contract in place?

It's my understanding that Cov is mostly middle eastern and Warwick mostly Chinese, so not sure Brexit will have a massive impact. On my course there's one Romanian, three Nigerians, one from Lebanon, two from Yemen and the rest English. So out of 15, only one EU citizen.
Sounds like the start of a joke if you all walk into a bar for the end of term beer.
Plying kids with beer?Fucking freaked the kid from Lebanon out by buying a round first week of the course. He couldn't get his head around it, kept trying to give me money. Had to tell him I'd be offended if he didn't accept a pint.

Did you tell him you were a washing machine salesman?He's 23, that's a kid to me lol.
