On the North Yorkshire coast, CU Scarborough opened in 2016 as a Coventry University campus for students who want a smaller, cheaper place to study. It teaches career-focused degrees in business, computing, psychology and health, and Coventry University awards the degrees. Classes are small, and several courses have more than one start date a year.
