Professional Pathways
What is it?
The Professional Pathways programme is a suite of sector specific training courses and paid 35 hour internships that will take place in June 2024.
Training is delivered by industry experts, to provide you with a firm grounding in the relevant sector. Following the employer-led training, you will undertake a paid 35 hour internship. Please see the individual pages below for further information.
For more information on each Pathway, please see:
- Pathways to Arts, Culture and Heritage

Pathways to Data Analytics
Please note, Pathways to Data Analytics is a separately funded Pathway, run through the Q-Step Centre Team. The format, dates and timings for this programme are therefore different and there is no paid internship as part of this Pathway. For further details, please visit the webpage here or contact the team at qstep@exeter.ac.uk.
