Work experience and volunteering

Work experience and student volunteering

We view work experience and volunteering as complementary opportunities for students to develop professional skills while making a positive impact. By supporting priority projects identified by our partner organisations, students can contribute their expertise in ways that are flexible and achievable alongside their studies.

Whether you are looking for support with a specific project, seeking new ideas and insights, or aiming to increase your organisation's capacity, our students can bring enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to help you achieve your goals.

A range of our programmes have work experience embedded into a module, mainly after Christmas. Contact us to discuss your project further.

Building mutually beneficial partnerships

We work closely with academic colleagues across the university to ensure our partnerships create value for everyone involved. As a partner, you may have opportunities to engage directly with students through guest lectures, workshops and contributions to work-related learning modules.

These interactions enable organisations to raise awareness of their work, share industry insights, and connect with future talent. At the same time, students benefit from exposure to real workplace experiences, helping them develop professional skills, industry awareness and confidence for their future careers.

Together, we create opportunities that support student success while delivering meaningful benefits to organisations and the wider community.
