Humanities in the Workplace module
Our second- and third-year 'Work Experience' module is designed to deepen your understanding of how the skills and knowledge acquired as part of a HASS degree are applicable to the workplace. As part of the module you will secure and complete a short placement of 40 hours, allowing you to gain real work experience and insights in a sector of your choosing.
During term 1, students attend a comprehensive series of timetabled employability workshops, covering key topics such as writing successful CVs, applications, sourcing placements, interview preparation and practice, and more. Students are responsible for sourcing and securing their placement and are supported in their work placement search by our Employability and Placements Adviser.
Your work placement on this module will allow you to develop your CV, demonstrate your skills to future employers through previous experience and give you extra confidence as you explore career options. A placement is a learning experience, giving you a valuable first-hand insight into a particular job, company and sector that will leave you feeling more informed about your next steps.
