8 ways we help our students to succeed
- Employability is woven into our courses - for example, our engineering students get hands-on experience working on real race cars as part of the University of Wolverhampton Racing Team.
- Many of our courses attract accreditation from professional bodies, which is a stamp of approval that they meet the highest professional standards.
- You don't need to wait until graduation - enhance your CV during your studies, with opportunities and advice from our Careers, Enterprise and The Workplace teams!
- Gain valuable experience through placements and part-time work on campus -building your experience from the moment you get here.
- Unlike many other universities, if you choose to undertake a sandwich year placement as part of your degree (taking a typical three-year degree to four years), you won't have to pay tuition fees for that year. We think that's a pretty tempting offer!
- Our partnerships with industry leaders create some unique opportunities - for instance, our collaboration with Santander boosts employability through a £120,000 scholarship scheme.
- If it's volunteering experience you're looking for, Volunteer Central has links with over 160 voluntary and community groups throughout the West Midlands.
- We can help you achieve your entrepreneurial ambitions through our innovative SPEED project (part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund), which supports students in starting their own businesses.
Don't forget, our support doesn't stop straight after you graduate. Our graduates can access all of our services for up to three years after graduating. Get ahead of the pack at: wlv.ac.uk/careers
