These unpaid Work Experience placements are available each summer at various UK locations.
It's best to choose a location you can reasonably commute to. Apply as early as possible, because applications close when all placements are filled.
We can only offer placements in the locations listed below the tabbed table. Since they fall within standard term time, your school or college must agree to you taking part.
If the programme is closed in your preferred location, join our talent community and we'll keep you updated on news, events, our programmes, and career opportunities.
