University of Bath Offer Funded Work Projects to Local Organisations

EDIT (25/04/25): Opportunity closed. All positions now filled.

The University of Bath are inviting two local organisations to benefit from a fully paid student to work on a project based on the organisation’s needs.

Within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences we see the importance in providing real world opportunities to our students and have partnered up with the Santander Employability Scheme. Funding is eligible for organisations to benefit from a fully paid student to complete a work project within the business. The work project can be completed virtually or in person. The project will take place over the summer of 2025 and students can work up to 108 hours over the project (maximum of 35 hours per week).  See a summary of previous years here: Trio of students work with local organisations as part of Santander Employability Projects scheme

Benefits to your organisation:  

• An opportunity to address a challenge/issue   

• A cost-effective way of gaining free additional resource and insight  

• Exposure to future graduate recruits  

• Enthusiastic students eager to deliver high quality work  

• CPD opportunities for existing team members  

The projects can be based around your organisational need, as you can see from previous examples, these can be different projects, if you would be interested in support around climate focused work then we can approach our climate action team for support.

If you would be interested in hosting an Employability Project for one of our students during summer 2025 then please contact Katie Gilham-Terrell (klg48@bath.ac.uk) and we can arrange to discuss this further.
