Work Experience
The University is keen to offer work experience where possible, offering a diverse range of departments and types of activities that you can get involved in.
Please note: we cannot offer work experience to anyone under 14 years old. Also, due to health and safety reasons, some departments cannot provide work experience to anyone under 16 years old.

If the department you are interested in doing work experience is not listed above, please visit the Departments and Services page for a full list of University departments.
Please note that some of our academic departments may not be able to offer placements outside of term time. This is because the type of work being undertaken at that time may be different and it may be more difficult to offer a valuable placement. If in doubt please contact the department to find out the best time for a placement there.
How to apply
Once you have identified a department or departments you are interested in, follow the instructions for application linked in the column "Application/Contact" or, if these instructions do not exist, complete the following Application for Work Experience form and send it together with a cover letter to the department directly.
We cannot guarantee that you will be offered a placement.
