SLSJ Extra
We encourage all our students to participate in SLSJ Extra, a series of talks and workshops featuring members from the legal, criminal and voluntary sectors, as well as other leading professionals and reform advocates from the UK and beyond. SLSJ Extra demonstrates how the academic disciplines of law, sociology, social policy and criminology can open doors to a range of fulfilling professions. By participating, you’ll build a strong foundation of extracurricular experience that supports your future career aspirations.
Work experience opportunities
We are here to help you make the most of work experience opportunities throughout your studies. In your second year, you'll have the option to integrate work experience into your studies. By your third year, you can take advantage of work placements through our Interchange service, which connects you with various voluntary and charitable organisations within the region. You can also gain valuable volunteering experience with support from Employability & Interchange Coordinators or by participating in the Peer Mentoring Scheme.
Placements
If you’re studying Sociology, Social Policy, or Criminology, we offer placements that allow you to undertake research projects with real impact on both local and national communities. These opportunities continue to grow each year. This year, for example, our research placements include collaborations with organisations such as the National Youth Advocacy Service and The Heseltine Institute.
