Work experience

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

2024/2025 allocations (updated May 2025)

Our allocations for 2024/25 are now full and we cannot consider any further applications this year.  We will re-open applications for 2026 allocations at a later date.

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.
