Schools work experience

We offer one-week work experience placements in the Library, over two separate weeks in the summer of each year, to Year 10-12 school/college students.

2026 allocations

The Library’s work experience placements for 2026 have now closed for
applications. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider any further applications for
work experience this year.

2027 allocations

Applications for the 2027 work experience placements will be detailed on this page in
December 2026, and open for application in early 2027.

Enabling 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.
