What are Work Experience Terms?

Work Experience Terms are structured, paid placements that allow undergraduate students in their third and fourth year to earn academic credit while gaining real-world experience.

These terms can be part-time or full-time, spanning 12 weeks during the summer, spring or fall semesters.

Employers can engage students for specific projects or general support roles.
