Gaining a degree will add value to your resume, but if you can’t demonstrate adequate work experience when you apply for a job, employers will be less likely to shortlist your application. This page will outline some of the ways in which you can gain valuable work experience while you are studying with us.
At GBS, certain courses require students to complete mandatory work experience alongside their studies at different points throughout the course. A work placement is an assessed period of temporary employment in which a student works at a company or organisation in a sector relevant to their area of study.
The purpose of a work placement is to provide our students the opportunity to develop key skills and competencies, identify potential career paths, and enhance their graduate employability. GBS work experience placements are credit-bearing and fully assessed, and you are entitled to the support of the Placements Team in finding a suitable role.
Internships are an incredibly popular way for degree students to gain experience during their time at university. They are very common and can be found in almost every industry.
Volunteering opportunities are very common and are accessible no matter where you live. Charities and social enterprises across the UK are always in need of volunteers to support them in delivering their services and working towards their goals.
If you are a GBS student with a query about your work placement, you should contact one of the following addresses, depending on your course:

DET

If you are an employer interested in becoming a work placement provider, your enquiry should be directed to the Placements Team.
