creating better futures by empowering students and communities to 
transform their lives and society through teaching, learning research 
and enterprise. We are gold rated in the government’s Teaching 
Excellence Framework (TEF) and the top Modern University in the Midlands

Coventry is currently hosting a year-long series of international events 
as the City of Culture, and in 2022 a brand new University building will 
host the Faculty of Arts and Humanities enabling us to push the 
boundaries of collaboration and innovation in our teaching, research and 
enterprise.

We are looking to appoint a dynamic and adaptable Course Director for 
our Media and Communications BA to lead and deliver teaching, learning 
and assessment on our popular Media and Communications BA course. You 
will be invested in the theory and practice of how media is 
contextualised and communicated, passionate about education and 
employability and committed to developing industry focussed 
opportunities that enhance the student experience. As well as having a 
track record of academic leadership, you will be a digital humanities 
specialist, firmly based in and with a strong background in cultural 
and/or media studies.

The School of Media and Performing Arts is a vibrant creative community 
providing award winning opportunities to UG and PG students in film and 
photography, music and acting, digital and immersive media as well as 
journalism and media communications. As we develop new courses and 
activities we are seeking to appoint an energetic and adaptable academic 
keen to innovate in course development and in their own research 
practice.  Applicants should either have a PhD in a relevant area of 
research or a significant track record of high-profile industry 
experience and degree level and professional qualifications.

Alongside teaching and learning, successful applicants will also need to 
demonstrate an ability to contribute to research or scholarship, and /or 
enterprise through their academic or industry experience in the subject 
area. Those without a teaching qualification will need to undertake 
Coventry University’s PGCHE training and / or gain HEA fellowship.
