Warwick students: Academic departments
Understand what subjects our students are studying whilst at Warwick.

Warwick students currently undertake a more traditional undergraduate study format, with a large number of departments offering placement opportunities as part of their course.
The “right” placement for a particular student’s course varies across the University from part or full-time, ranging from 4 weeks during term time to 9-12 months starting June - September. If you can be flexible regarding start date and duration (within reason given the business need driving your vacancy advert), this will broaden the pool of eligible applicants.
In many cases, students self-source work placements that form part of their degree course and receive support from their academic department and the university. The university provides a job vacancy website, myAdvantage https://myadvantage.warwick.ac.uk/employers/Link opens in a new window, for employers to post opportunities. In a smaller number of cases, departments manage the process of matching students to a course-related placement. If you would like more information about how to engage with departments and speak to them about your opportunities, please contact us: .
UK undergraduate students sometimes have the opportunity to take a voluntary year out of their degree, in order to undertake a specific work experience opportunity, and these students then supplement the numbers taking a formal placement year, but summer internships, vacation and part-time work are enduringly more popular with Warwick students. It is not usually possible for a student visa holder to take part in Warwick's Voluntary Year Out Scheme.
