Our students have unrivalled access to work experience through our connections in all parts of the publishing industry. All our publishing students have the opportunity to do work experience during their course. This enables them to apply what they learn in a real environment, gain a greater understanding of how the industry works, and develop a network of contacts that will be invaluable to them in their career in publishing. Typically they have the chance to do a variety of work placements in a range of departments or market sectors.
We have two members of staff with responsibility for work experience and internships. In a typical year over 50 employers offer work placements to our students in Oxford, London and elsewhere. International students can do work experience alongside their studies, and many publishers welcome their skills and knowledge.
Our Publishing Advisory Board provides professional support from senior members of the publishing industry. Publishers represented there include:
- Bloomsbury
- Faber
- HarperCollins
- Hachette
- Penguin Random House
- Oxford University Press
- Pearson
