ASE offers a range of internships with prestigious organizations in the city, or within close proximity to Bath. Each student is allotted a placement mentor to oversee their weekly work experience, and spends a total of 120 hours in the placement over the course of a semester. In addition, they meet weekly to discuss progress with an ASE internship tutor, who guides them in the preparation of an 8,000 word paper (or equivalent). This paper, which develops from, and complements, work undertaken at the placement, forms a substantial part of the student's final assessment.
