Add+vantage Scheme 2022-23

The Add+vantage modules teach a range of work experience and career development activities that are taken each year, and which broaden students knowledge, skills and qualifications within a work focused environment.

For example, students considering pursuing a career in teaching can use Add+vantage Scheme to volunteer in schools. And there are plenty of other opportunities from studying for an Adobe Photoshop module, to taking a CISCO qualification or the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL).

There is a very broad range of Add+vantage subject areas, and they are arranged in themes. In the 'Global Languages' theme you can learn French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese or Portuguese. In the 'Global Perspectives’  theme you can study how to do business in different parts of the world or look at intercultural communication  in the global society. In the ‘Professional Development’ theme, a module has been created in association with multinational companies such as Jaguar Land Rover, Enterprise-Rent-A-Car and Severn Trent Water to give students unique industry insight and guidance for graduate recruitment. Other themes include Creativity and Enterprise and Entrepreneurship; Work Experience, Global Experience Field Trips, Projects and Skills; Professional Accreditation and Research Skills.
