Find support to build your CV, access career pop ups and specialist events, find employment opportunities, develop your business idea or take the steps to going freelance. Whatever you need, start with the Employability Service.
Micro-Internships
Looking to gain real-world experience alongside your studies?
Our Micro-Internships offer you a unique working experience. You'll get the opportunity to apply to a paid internship that'll develop your professional skills over a period of 2-6 weeks. You'll complete 30 paid hours over that period and learn a host of transferable and industry skills.
Over 400 students have embarked on internships, with over 100 different businesses across all sectors across the creative industries and beyond. Over 50% of students have gone on to secure more permanent work with their internship host.
Who are Micro-Internships for?
The scheme is open to all current Falmouth University students and we particularly welcome applications from underrepresented Falmouth students who are keen to develop their career readiness.
