Working with our students

The HSS Partnerships and Placements team is keen to connect with organisations as we continue to develop student work placements.

Our aim is to provide students with an excellent work place experience along with demonstrating the broad scope of opportunities in the workplace and community available to them through their field of study.

We are always interested in hearing from organisations who can host a student on an unpaid, short term basis. Placement duration, tasks and projects can be flexible to fit round your requirements. The team is also here to provide guidance on health and safety, and risk assessments prior to the placement.

Please see our work placement policy for further details.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the content and nature of placements may have to change. This will be done in discussion with placement providers.

The Criminology placement students adapted very well to our fast-paced work environment and became part of the wider team easily. They were an absolute pleasure to host.
