Intern Roles

It is anticipated that the interns will explore issues in the following areas (the exact briefs are to be agreed but each intern will focus on one or two key areas):

• Analysis of teaching methods within the Business School
• Student Communications
• Student Induction and Welcome Week
• Career Development Week and Career Activity within the Business School

The above are indicative tasks and the projects may include additional duties.  There may be some overlap between projects and as a result we would expect you to take a flexible approach to the projects and support the work of other interns as required.

Interns will be required to produce a formal written report and present their findings to key Business School staff at the end of the internship.
