Work Experience (Y10) – 1st to 5th July 2024
The School of Arts is a vibrant and varied area of the university that includes the departments of Music, Film, Theatre, Anthropology and Archaeology, and Philosophy. We typically offer Work Experience placements to year 10 students during work experience week in July. A placement with us might include time spent experiencing Music studios, Film & TV editing and Theatre production, supporting archaeological fieldwork and on office-based tasks. You’d be working with academic, technical and professional services staff across a range of areas and have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the life of our school.
We want to give you the opportunity to explore different university subject areas that might be of interest and gain an understanding of the career options that are available to you, encouraging you to learn and develop new skills. This placement would suit you if you have an interest in an arts environment and want to gain a better understanding of what arts skills, courses and careers there are.
We very much welcome and encourage local state school students to apply.
Applications are now open and will close on 9th February 2024.
To apply please complete this application form.
We will confirm if you have been selected by the end of February 2024.
