Coventry University Geography and Environment staff and students are actively involved in a growing programme of schools outreach and engagement.

Ambassadors programme
Coventry University offers Student Ambassador visits for careers talks and geography-themed Q&A sessions, giving pupils insights into university life and future pathways.
Visits to and from schools
Coventry University offers:
- In-school talks and workshops on topics such as climate change, hazards, GIS, and urban sustainability, tailored to your curriculum needs (GCSE, A Level, or equivalent).
- On-campus experiences such as lab tours, map skills sessions, or taster lectures (by arrangement).
- Opportunities for schools to get involved in research-linked activities, including citizen science and mapping projects.
They have some really interesting and specialised resources that they can call upon during school visits, including an artificial river (a flume), a wave tank and access to unique sites in the City of Peace and Reconciliation.
