By completing a PACE Internship at UC, students work on a project with a local business or organisation while also earning academic course credits.
A PACE Internship is an ideal complement to a students core subject and will help them not only develop workplace skills, but also confidence in the applicability of their existing skills and attributes.

鈥淚 decided to complete an internship as I wanted to put my classroom learning into practice and gain experience before heading out into the professional working world. I took a PACE internship, with the College of Arts, where I was partnered with the fantastic team at UC Rec and Sport. During my time at UC Rec, I was the marketing and social media intern where I took on many projects around the centre to help the team with their marketing and online presence. One part that I loved about working here, is that my work was used as part of their marketing plan in 2021/2022. In other internships, you often are left to do small jobs, but working at UC Rec and Sport, I knew that my work and knowledge was valued and appreciated. I have learnt so much at my time at UC Rec and Sport and created a great network of people that have helped me gain the confidence to go out into the world and pursue a career that I am passionate about.鈥
