Graduate applications are now open:

I am delighted to confirm that applications for our 2022 Graduate positions have now opened.

Following a previously turbulent year for those seeking graduate opportunities, I am pleased to confirm that Arup is in the process of recruiting its largest graduate cohort in recent years!

Applications for our graduate vacancies are now open and are all posted on our early-careers recruitment website: Early career opportunities with Arup - Arup

Placement applications (Summer Internship and Industrial Placements):

Applications for placements at Arup (both Summer Internship and Industrial Placement opportunities), starting in Summer 2022 will open in late November. Placement students at Arup are automatically considered for graduate opportunities at the firm.

Upcoming open days:

We have organised a series of sector focussed open evenings in late October. These will take place virtually and are open to students studying in all years.

The open evenings will include a series of short speaker talks, delivered by senior, industry respected subject matter experts from our various disciplines.

Talks will provide context on the type of services Arup provides within different disciplines, showcase various projects and outline what the future holds / future trends within the discipline. Additionally, there will be an expo hall where attendees can network with current graduates and the early-careers recruitment team.

Specifically, the session on Wednesday 27 October will include talks for students interested in our Fire discipline.

** Volunteering in Lightyear Foundation's Virtual Lab​​ **

We have been shared information from the Lightyear Foundation, a science charity that breaks down barriers to disabled children accessing STEM. They run a programme called the Virtual Lab, which takes place on Zoom and enables disabled young people to enjoy science experiments in a supported and accessible format. They have previously worked with STEM students at other universities and are currently recruiting more volunteers.

The Virtual Lab in an online programme for disabled children and young people who are passionate about science. Each Virtual Lab has 4 sessions, in which the group take part in a different hands-on science experiment together. The young people use equipment that we post to them (including their own lab coat!) and the session is led by our STEM Lead, Dr. Sarah Bearchell on Zoom.  

The volunteer role involves:

• Logging into the Lightyear Zoom account and hosting the technical elements of the session. This may include; admitting people from the waiting room, sharing your screen and spotlighting individuals. You will always be supported by the Lightyear team members and never solely responsible for a session. There are always 2 team members minimum on a call. You will be visible on camera. We can help you get to grips with Zoom and the functions you’ll need.
• Offering feedback and observations on students - how they manage with each task, areas for improvement etc.
• Each session lasts max. 45 mins. They sometimes vary in length, but don't go over 45mins. We meet on Zoom 15 mins before each session begins.
• Each Virtual Lab runs for 4 sessions with a cohort of 6 young people. Our upcoming Labs will take place in a school, and we are delivering one session per day for 4 days. They will run Tuesday - Friday, either 10:00 - 10:45 or 1:30 - 2:15.
• You can volunteer for one or multiple sessions. It’s wonderful when one volunteer can commit to a whole Virtual Lab (4 consecutive sessions) as this offers consistency to the students, but it is not essential. If you can only do 1 or 2 sessions, we’d still love to hear from you!
• If you are interested or have any further questions, please get in touch with Rhiannon on rhiannon@lightyearfoundation.org

Various Library study spaces remain available and these are managed to make them Covid-safe. Government guidance still states that individuals should stay at home and only leave home if essential. So, if students can work from home they should, but for those that don’t have accommodation that is conducive to study we offer the following: see further details.....

The Rootes Grid, which is available for all Warwick students. The Rootes FlexiGrid (on the 1st Floor) and Panorama Rooms (on the 2nd Floor) are also open as study spaces.

The Postgrad Hub for PG students – in Junction, the old Sports Centre.

For Medical and Life Sciences students, there is the BioMed Grid on Gibbet Hill.

These sites are all open seven days a week – students are advised to visit our Web site for full details.

The Library is continually reviewing the situation and is working with colleagues across campus to open new spaces where we can, based on demand. Students can refer to the Study Space Availability pages on the Web and their MyWarwick app to see what is available and where.

Given social distancing guidelines, these spaces are open for individual study only at the moment, and users need to follow the University’s safe working and sanitising practices. When visiting our sites users MUST:

• wear a face covering (unless they have a medical exemption not to)
• remain 2 metres apart from others, including Library staff
• sanitise their hands.

There is cleaning equipment so our users can clean their workstation.

We take everyone’s safety very seriously and anyone not following these rules will be asked to leave.
