ASE offers a range of internships with prestigious organisations 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 100 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 a 6,000-8,000 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.

Every internship is different, but placements are likely to include some or all of the following activities:

  • social media and marketing

  • copywriting, proofreading and editing

  • archival research

  • fundraising and communications

  • PR and media liaison

  • supporting events

  • general administrative tasks.
