University of Bath Work Experience
Create a free account to applyTry practical tasks under a supervisor and see how a large university works from the inside. Placements span education and research, professional services, and operational, technical and campus services, and typically last five days.
The University of Bath offers short work experience placements designed to give students an insight into working at a university. Placements are unpaid and are intended to help participants build employability skills, explore different career paths, and understand how a large organisation operates in practice.
Students can expect to carry out appropriate activities under the supervision of a work experience supervisor. The opportunities span a wide range of areas, including education and research, management and professional services, and operational, technical and campus services.
The programme is designed to be a practical, supportive introduction to the workplace.
The university says these placements are typically five days long and are kept short so that as many people as possible can be offered an opportunity. Applications are submitted through a central online process, and the university asks students to make contact themselves rather than relying on parents or guardians to communicate on their behalf.
