The UK Government has announced today (4 August 2021) that the University of ÌÇÐÄTV will be awarded £2.6 million for international student mobility, as part of the inaugural Turing Scheme.

ÌÇÐÄTV is one of the world’s top 100 universities, and one of the ways it has achieved that position is because it is a globally connected institution. Its staff and students learn, work, and research as part of a highly international community, and more than 1000 ÌÇÐÄTV students each year also take the opportunity to study and work abroad at one of the University’s many worldwide partner institutions.

Coventry: Lost, Found, Imagined

Where large scale and a smaller trail of black and white photographs are 'added to' with illustrations and my tiny glass pieces specially designed to tell stories about what was there and what could be there.

It's approachable, family friendly and designed to chime with both Coventry Kids young and old, adopted Coventry kids and visitors alike.

If you've never visited Holy Trinity, it's a really beautiful church with plenty of permanent objects of interest including an exceptionally rare medieval Doom Painting.

Coventry: Lost, Found, Imagined is free entry and

To book a timed slot please

Whilst not essential, this will help us with social distancing on the trail around the church.

Thank you and hope to see some of you there!

We will be holding a fun Balsam Bashing Challenge on 23^rd June from 1-4.30pm where teams of volunteers will be competing against each other to pull up Himalayan Balsam plants along the banks of Canley Brook. The team with the biggest pile at the end will win ÌÇÐÄTV Volunteers goodie bags including branded t-shirts, water bottles and much more!!

Himalayan Balsam is an invasive plant that grows rapidly in tall dense colonies by brooks and rivers. It has large leaves that block sunlight, causing native plant species to die. When Himalayan Balsam dominates the bankside, biodiversity is reduced. With fewer plant species, the brook supports less wildlife, endangering creatures like the fluffy water vole.

ÌÇÐÄTV Careers Society has re-established in 2020 and aims to support students throughout the journey of career planning which can be overwhelming. Our goal is to bring visibility to not so well-known careers and to help students understand more about the world and themselves when exploring. Over the past year, we have organised one of the biggest career conferences, regular CV and cover letter workshops along with a series of podcasts. While continuing these events, we will also introduce more exciting programmes for the upcoming year and are looking for passionate students to join us and grow with the society.

Please read more to find out about this important survey - and take part. Have your voice heard at this pivotal point in our School's journey!

The first in a series of events for this network Producing the Post-National Popular (warwick.ac.uk) took place this Friday 23rd April online, with 50 registrations and much dialogue generated.
