Work Experience Award (Self-Nomination): For Extra-Curricular Placements & Internships
The Work Experience Award enables Queen’s students to gain accreditation for graduate career-relevant; self-organised and selected work placements of 50 hours or more.
These work experiences will involve the candidate successfully negotiating a formal application and selection process in order to gain the post/place. The actual work experience will be intensive, entail responsibility for others/delivery of a professional project; will require the student to work as part of a professional team towards agreed goals within specified deadlines. It will also challenge the student to apply the transferable and/or subject specific skills developed as part of their degree into a work context that demonstrates their ability to make a successful transition into a graduate job role in the near future.
In order to qualify for accreditation, students must:
- Familiarise yourself with the requirements for this activity by reading this page in full.
- Identify and secure a graduate career-relevant work experience and complete it in full (50 hours +).
- After completing a relevant work experience submit/attach a Work Experience application form (with evidence and completed to an appropriate standard).
