Work experience

We offer one-week work experience placements in the Library, over two separate weeks in the summer of each year.

The 2026 placements will be offered between 29 June 2026  and 10 July 2026 and the full details will be advertised here by the end of 2025. Applications will open in early 2026.

Enabling fairer access

Please note, at Manchester we seek excellence, inclusivity and impact in everything that we do.

Widening participation in higher education – in particular, enabling fairer access to a Manchester education for talented students from all backgrounds – is central to our values as a world-class University and we will prioritise work experience requests from groups that are currently underrepresented in higher education.
