What our student staff say...

  • "Working at HSU as a placement student has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I felt valued as part of the team, gained hands-on experience in a supportive environment, and developed skills that will make me stand out in future roles."

    Jesse Osae

    Marketing and Communications Assistant (2024/25)

  • "I never thought I'd do a placement year but it's been one of the best parts of my uni experience. I've met so many lovely people and worked on projects that have helped me develop my skills and give me more confidence."

    Chloe Deville

    Marketing and Communications Assistant (2024/25)

  • "I've loved this job - leading projects and campaigns that make real change for students has been incredible, and I've gained invaluable experience across so many areas. It's been a pleasure working with such a friendly and collaborative SU team!"

    Molly Pemberton

    Social Sciences and Arts Officer (2024/25)

  • "I gained so much experience from the role. I didn't have a background in marketing - it's not even my degree - but after my placement, I realised it's something I actually want to pursue after uni."
