Micro careers placements

Monday, 23 February 2026
Are you interested in gaining a range of transferable skills and practical experience solving a real-world business solution?

Partnered with a business, you’ll work in a small team of students on a two-week project designed to:

  • build your professional confidence
  • expand your skillset
  • enhance your CV or LinkedIn profile

The placements take place between Monday 13 and Sunday 26 April.

What will the projects cover?

Choose from two streams:

  • business, strategy and growth
  • technology, innovation and impact.

Within each stream, there are five themes, so you’ll find a project that will interest you.

What your team will do

During the programme, you will operate as a virtual student consultant team. Your team will:

  • receive a project brief and collaborate to understand your client’s context
  • be supported by a mentor, who will provide advice and feedback on all your key deliverables
  • present your findings and recommendations in a professional report and final presentation

Applications are now open and close on Sunday 15 March.
