Â鶹´«Ã½

At Â鶹´«Ã½, our students graduate with more than just a degree. We encourage them to demonstrate a passion for social justice, engage in environmentally friendly practices and recognise that individuals matter. 

The development of both subject-specific and soft skills is embedded in our courses. We ensure that students are in the best possible position to go on to thrive in their chosen career and lead a life full of purpose. 

We help our students to become independent learners, compassionate and resilient and confident in both themselves and what they have to offer the world.

Would you like your business to benefit from the latest industry knowledge and the freshest talent? Would your staff like to develop their supervisory and mentoring skills? Our students are full of ideas and energy, and they can’t wait to put their academic abilities to the test with a work placement or volunteering opportunity. By offering a placement, you will be able to help a student to further their employability skills whilst utilising their knowledge and perspective to meet your business needs. You may even find your future employee! 

A work placement is defined as a period of assessed learning in a workplace, included in a course (lasting up to a year). It is a chance for a student to gain valuable practical experience in a real working environment.

Employing our students for part-time work   

If you are looking for a part-time employee who is passionate about Â鶹´«Ã½ and the local community, students are the perfect candidates. They have actively chosen to work, live and study in Â鶹´«Ã½ for a minimum of three years, and during this time, they will actively contribute to both the local economy and the city’s cultural landscape. 

We recommend that students work no more than 15 hours a week (during term time), to avoid any negative impact on their studies. However, students can often be extremely flexible with their hours, often choosing to work less during exam periods but more during peak periods, such as Christmas and Easter. This can be beneficial to both the student and you, the employer.
