Make the most of your university holidays- get an internship!

How do you stand out from the ever-growing crowd of graduates? The answer is easy: spend your holidays doing something different

Lancaster University is giving you least three months off over the summer period- that is a lot of time on your hands! Yes, it can be filled with nights out, seeing your friends, precious family time and maybe a holiday (or two) but three months- 12 weeks- is a lot of time to fill. These summer months are the perfect time to build up your work experience and develop new skills with an internship or work placements.
