Work experience & internships
"Everyone told me, and it's true - work experience is the key" |
What is work experience?
However great your formal qualifications look, employers want evidence of work experience and things that can only be gained from it. Skills development and career planning are two of many reasons why work experience is so important.
Finding work experience
Before beginning to look for work experience, it's important to ask yourself what you want to gain from it. From there, you can start to explore the resources available and begin to make applications.
University internships
The university operates internship schemes, including the UoB Internship Scheme, designed to offer opportunities for valuable work experience in both university departments and external organisations.
