Student Placements

*We are currently not offering Student Placement opportunities*

We offer structured student placements, with the opportunity to work across a range of different areas within our small team. The programme requires a time commitment of two to three days per week, for a three month period.

The role is intended to provide an insight into various aspects of our operations including marketing and communications, audience analysis, working with the physical and digital archives, production, as well as more general arts administration. We will always try to tailor the work towards your particular interests.

Applicants must be in education, and the student placement must be a requirement of the applicant's programme of study. We provide £20 per day to cover expenses for all student placements. We can only accept a limited number of student placements per year. We run regular callouts for applicants, however we welcome approaches from universities who are seeking placements on behalf of their students, as well as from individual student applicants (who should send us their CV with accompanying cover letter). Please email admin@fvu.co.uk.
