Finding work experience

Whether you are in your first or final year or have just graduated, you may be looking for opportunities to gain experience. ‌Opportunities include:

Unique to UoM

Get a mentor

  • Find a mentor match with an alumni or industry professional to support you with career planning, decision making, and preparing for your next steps after university.

University of Manchester Schemes

In CareerConnect you will see a tab entitled “UoM Schemes”. These opportunities include a variety of schemes that the Careers Service is either wholly responsible for, or is managing on behalf of a recruiter (either The University of Manchester or in some cases an external organisation).

This means in many cases there will be no external applicants so you have a far greater chance of being considered.

Work Experience Bursaries

  • Financial support for full time undergraduates of all years to undertake career enhancing work experience.

Global Graduates

  • Spend a fully-funded week In June in one of seven cities across the globe meeting with alumni from a range of business and industry sectors.
