Could your organisation benefit from a University of Bristol student placement or project?

Work with University of Bristol’s top talent in the Faculty of Arts, Law & Social Science

The Professional Liaison Network (PLN) run a range of mutually-beneficial initiatives that connect organisations with students and academics from the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences. University of Bristol is dedicated to connecting students and organisations, building industry relationships, and enriching our students’ academic studies. You can read more information about their activities in the online brochure, and below gives you a flavour of what you can get involved with.

Host a placement student

University of Bristol's in-curriculum placement scheme allows students to spend 80 hours (typically one day per week for 10-12 weeks) working on a micro-placement, between October & March, within an organisation on activities that relate in some way to their degree. Placements are unpaid and are flexible depending on your requirements. University of Bristol work with you to develop your placement ideas and match the best students to your placement. You can read more detail about how the placements work on their website.  All placements need to be agreed by the end of July, so if you or any of your colleagues might benefit from a student placement, please get in touch with Claire Horton at fssl-pln@bristol.ac.uk or book a meeting with her to discuss this further.  

 

Student projects

University of Bristol student projects are set by organisations and are undertaken as part of a degree. They are available to a wide range of programmes and specialisms across the faculty, which means it is highly likely we can connect you with students who will be able to support you. They can help you with marketing strategy, corporate social responsibility, leadership and strategy and research amongst other things. Please contact University of Bristol on fssl-pln@bristol.ac.uk if you would like to discuss this.
