Access our students and graduates

Our talented students and graduates are eagerly looking for work experience and employment. They’re enthusiastic, have the latest knowledge and can be a real asset to any organisation. Whether you’re looking for a student to help you part-time around their studies, a short-term intern, a year-long placement student, or a graduate ready for their next challenge – let us know the opportunity and we’ll help you find the right candidate.

Placements and internships

We encourage our students to get real-life work experience during their studies, via short-term internships or year-long placements. Could your organisation benefit from an extra pair of hands, someone with a fresh perspective, or a boost of new skills?

Part-time jobs

If you’re looking for some additional support, our students are often looking for local jobs that they can undertake part-time around their studies.

Higher and Degree Apprenticeships

Working with a range of national and regional employers, we have developed bespoke apprenticeships to meet the specific needs of both employers and apprentices. We specialise in creating blended training solutions tailored to an employer’s individual business, to provide practical, immersive and experiential learning based around a learner’s work environment. If you’re looking to offer an apprenticeship programme, look to partner with us to offer this out to our prospective students.

Volunteering

If you’re a charity or not-for-profit organisation we can help to share volunteering opportunities within our student community.

Graduate jobs

Each year we have thousands of students graduating from a wide range of courses, and they’re often energetically looking for a graduate scheme or graduate level job in which they can put their knowledge into practice.
