About The Role
Are you a current second‑year student looking for a placement that gives you real, hands‑on experience across a range of marketing and communications activities? If so, this is your chance to work at the heart of a busy, creative marketing team.
In this dynamic role, you’ll support the Corporate Marketing and Communications team in the development and delivery of strategic campaigns, content, and communications that bring the University’s brand to life. As a valued member of the team, you’ll dive into a diverse mix of initiatives—contributing fresh ideas, assisting across all areas of marketing and communications activity, and helping to shape communications that resonate with audiences and reflect the University’s vision and values.
In this broad, varied role you’ll write copy, support campaign activity, contribute to events, help manage our digital asset library, and bring a fresh student perspective to everything we do. If you’re someone who thrives on variety and wants to build a portfolio that reflects real marketing practice, this placement is for you.
This placement is a fixed‑term role lasting 12 months, starting in September 2026 and ending in August 2027.
