The university operates two intakes per year (September and January), which is unusual among UK universities and gives Nepali students more flexibility in application timing.

Coventry city is also among the UK's cheapest major student cities for accommodation — shared student housing typically runs £400–£550/month. The university's dedicated International Student Advisory team and a well-established Nepali student community mean incoming Nepali students have immediate peer support and cultural networks available from day one.
