PACE Student Stories

"It has been very rewarding and one of the most valuable experiences I have had studying here. It is the closest you can get to real and professional work experience, whilst simultaneously using your degree and achieving points."

"I was able to build confidence in my ability and take pride in the deliverables I produced."

"Having had the opportunity to experience it myself, I believe anyone would benefit hugely by doing a PACE internship. I continue to notice the impact it's had on my courses."

"During the internship I gained a real life picture of what working in an organisation is like, and I also grew in confidence.."

"Doing PACE has been one of the best choices I’ve made at university, it is a great way to boost your CV and get that highly sought-after experience."

"It was interesting to see reflections of the university content I have learnt in the organisation, and was great to be able to apply this content."

"I recommend PACE to anyone who doesn’t know what their next step is, or those looking for experience in their chosen field."

"PACE has been the most rewarding and meaningful part of my experience at university, and by taking the initiative you too can also unlock your own dream opportunities."

"Overall, I’m glad I did it – moving past my initial hesitation, with support from the PACE supervisors, was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year, in terms of my study."
