Phoenix+ and Add+vantage

Your development is super important to us at Your Students’ Union. Many of the things you can get involved with at the SU will support your professional growth for the future, whether it’s becoming a rep or leading a sports club or society.

Our long history of linking SU activity to the skills you need for the future is why we’ve partnered with the university’s Phoenix+ team to curate and deliver a range of Phoenix+ modules!

What is Phoenix+?

Phoenix+ is a free programme of activities and modules for undergraduate and postgraduate Coventry University students designed to help you achieve your professional and academic goals. From on-demand digital content, to placements and volunteering opportunities, Phoenix+ provides extracurricular opportunities to equip you with skills, knowledge and confidence to thrive in a competitive graduate job market.

There are three levels:

  1. Know It

    Bite size content with each session focused on developing a skill through sharing knowledge.

  2. Experience It

    Immersive opportunities for you to apply your knowledge and build your skills further.

  3. Live It

    Your opportunity to bring all this together and get ready for the next steps after graduation. 

It is easy to get started. Simply log in to Potential.ly and complete a short skills assessment which will identify the attributes you need to develop. You’ll then get recommendations of sessions and experiences that will help those weaker areas.

What sessions do the SU deliver?

Modules currently cover the following topics, designed to target skills that will help you both personally and professionally.

  • Effective communication
  • Disability inclusion training
  • Volunteering
  • Managing your finances
  • Online safety
  • School placements
  • Public service signing
  • British Sign Language

We are always interested in getting your feedback or suggestions for new Phoenix+ workshops or experiences. If you have an idea, please share it with us via our suggestion for a Skills Event form.
