What is being bought
This opportunity is for the delivery of a pilot programme of employer-led virtual internships during the 2026/27 academic year. The pilot forms part of the University's strategic commitment to improving graduate employability through widening access to high-quality work experience. The University recognises that many students face barriers to accessing traditional internships due to financial constraints, caring responsibilities, disability, geographical location and other personal circumstances. Internships offer an opportunity to remove many of these barriers whilst providing meaningful engagement with employers and authentic workplace experience.
