Our hugely popular Newcastle Work Experience (NWE) term-time scheme launches on 1st October! NWE is open to all current Newcastle University students and gives you the opportunity to gain valuable, paid work experience in a professional setting with local SME’s, charities and in the many Schools and departments right here on campus.
Why do NWE?
Past NWE students have carried out a wide range of placements including Events and Marketing, Laboratory Assistant, Translation Support, Social Media and Website Administration. Here, they share their experiences...
"Taking part in the NWE scheme gave me insights in a previously unknown sector and also provided me with new, transferable skills."
Sebastian Weil – International Translation, Bazaar Group
"I had a fantastic and rewarding time on my NWE placement. I developed skills that related directly to my academic studies and will hopefully benefit me as I progress beyond my MSc."
Liam Barford – Research Assistant, National Energy Action
"I came into the scheme unsure about my own skills, and my career path. NWE has solidified my previous skills, taught me new ones, and is sending me out into the world ready to face whatever challenges come."
Rebecca Prescott – Events and Marketing, Berwick Film and Media Festival
