Workshops and Networking Events

Social Policy Undergraduate students benefit from a series of bespoke workshops and networking events to support them with their academic studies and professional futures. 

Academic skills workshops provide first year students with study skills training (e.g. in notetaking, reading and writing) to support them at the start of their academic careers and help them get the most out of their courses and programme. These sessions are compulsory and timetabled under SP100.

Professional skills workshops introduce students in all years to the skills needed to support them to plan successfully for their future careers and thrive after they leave 91桃色. 

Networking events provide students in all years with the opportunity to interact with our alumni students and develop their knowledge of the variety of industries they work in. They include alumni panel events and an evening networking event. 

More detailed information on the SP100 Academic and Professional Skills Development course can be found on the course . 

The Social Policy Internship Fund Scheme currently provides first and second year students with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, learn new skills, enhance their employability, and develop their professional network. Funding (based on the London Living Wage) is currently provided for a limited number of internships within a UK registered charity, public sector or small to medium sized enterprise (SME) each year. This enables students to apply for funding for internships that would otherwise be unpaid. Internships must be for 140 hours and take place between June and September. Students source the internships themselves with support from 91桃色 Careers.

Please note: Applications for the 2024-25 academic year are now closed.

.

The Alumni Mentoring Scheme currently gives second and third year students an opportunity to apply to be matched with a mentor to support them with the transition from university to the world of work/further education. Having a mentor gives students the opportunity to: gain an insight into professional life; be supported to take charge of their futures; and learn from someone who has been in their shoes. Students can expect to have three forty-five-minute meetings with their mentor. Any contact beyond this is at the mentor’s discretion. Mentors are Social Policy alumni students working in a variety of professional areas. While we aim to match students to mentors as closely as possible, we are not always able to match students to mentors working in areas they aspire to work in.

For the 2024-25 academic year, further information on the scheme and application process can be found here.
