1965 AD founded
It was founded as part of a government initiative to expand higher education.
The idea for a university in Warwickshire was first mooted shortly after World War II, although it was not founded for a further two decades. A partnership of the city and county councils ultimately provided the impetus for the university to be established on a 400-acre (1.6 km2) site jointly granted by the two authorities.
There was some discussion between local sponsors from both the city and county over whether it should be named after Coventry or Warwickshire.
