Work experience and volunteering

Work experience can offer you the opportunity to earn money, develop skills and acquire experience relevant to your future career or test out a particular field to see if you would like to work in it.

You can count any paid or unpaid work in any country towards your Award, including part-time work in term time or at home during the holidays, as long as you've done it during your time as a student at University of Exeter. 

If you are a postgraduate student, you can include any work experience completed in the summer before you joined university/ in the two months before you joined university.
