The Work Experience Route enables Queen’s students to gain accreditation for career-relevant; self-organised work placements of 50 hours or more.
These work experiences will involve the candidate successfully negotiating a formal application and selection process in order to gain the post/place. The actual work experience will be intensive, entail responsibility for others/delivery of a professional project; will require the student to work as part of a professional team towards agreed goals within specified deadlines. It will also challenge the student to apply the transferable and/or subject specific skills developed as part of their degree into a work context that demonstrates their ability to make a successful transition into a career relevant job role in the near future.
