The GED Add+vantage

Coventry graduates take with them a substantial advantage into the workplace. In addition to having an advanced understanding of modern theories and issues in the subject of your chosen degree, and expertise in laboratory, computational and field skills, there are several specific opportunities to help you gain work-related knowledge, develop employability competencies and prepare for a professional career.

Professional Training Year

Why not spend a year working for an organisation and receiving training relevant to your studies - and getting paid? Completing in-service training before the final year of your degree has been shown to make you more attractive to potential employers. Our reputation with government agencies, private companies and voluntary organisations has been built up over three decades and every year they contact us asking for Coventry students.

Study in Europe

Have you ever wished to live and study abroad? Have you ever wanted to get to know a different culture, study at a foreign university, meet new friends, learn another language, all at the same time? As a student of natural hazards why not spend an entire year at the University of Iceland exploring volcanic and glacial landscapes, or if your prefer culture, perhaps Venice International University would interest you. Even the most linguistically challenged can benefit as many of our partners provide tuition in English.
