Work Experience and Internships
Work experience is a great way for students to get an insight into their chosen career path and what it’s like to be within a working environment. The CES helps students to find prospective opportunities for work experience and offers advice on how to secure these.
Internships are ‘formal’ work experience and are typically full-time and run throughout the summer months. They are aimed towards students in their final year of study who have amassed skills and knowledge during their programme and are looking to apply this to a real world environment. The University’s Summer Internship Programme gives students the opportunity to complete an internship between May and August.
