Hull University Business School's World of Work office is here to help you connect with their students.

They provide a point of contact for undergraduate placements and short-term projects, supporting both the organisations and the students involved to ensure everyone gets the most out of the process.

The World of Work office provides organisations with a wide range of opportunities to engage with their students - the business professionals of tomorrow. Whether for a short-term project to address a specific issue or for longer term support, our students can make a real difference to your organisation. Because their programmes are tied to the needs of businesses their students understand what it takes to engage with the real world of work.

While being an invaluable experience for our students, from undergraduate to MBA level, these programmes can deliver significant and sustainable benefits to your organisation.
