Coventry University

Coventry University wants to build a hotel, shops and homes on the site of the old Civic Centre.

The new group is made up of Coventry University, the University of Warwick and five NHS bodies.

The funding scheme aims to drive research and skills development in creative industries.

The group sees a 71% increase in students in five years, with some praising the courses' flexibility.

A union representative says Coventry University is choosing job cuts over other saving measures.

Independent auditors are questioning the university's "ability to continue", as job cuts are announced

A new Coventry project will work with groups to gather old newspaper clippings and photos.

University managers say a union's alternative open day is a protest and will discourage students.
