Field-related jobs for undergraduates

[Tasell]

Hi, I'm currently a Physics undergraduate living in London. I'm thinking of finding a field-related job which I can do during the holidays to see how much I'm capable of doing. Does anyone have any suggestion where to start? Not many people would hire an undergraduate, right?

Yes, they're typically called interns. Check with your school for information on co-op programs.

Hi there,

It's great to hear that you are interested in gaining hands-on experience in your field during your undergraduate studies. There are actually many opportunities for undergraduates to gain practical experience in their field, especially during the holidays.

One option is to look for internships or research assistant positions at universities or research institutions. These positions are often open to undergraduate students and can provide valuable experience in your field of study.

Another option is to reach out to companies or organizations in your field and inquire about part-time or temporary positions. Many companies are open to hiring undergraduate students, especially if they have relevant skills or experience.

You can also consider volunteering for a non-profit organization or joining a student organization related to your field. These experiences can also provide valuable skills and insights into your field.

In terms of where to start, I would recommend reaching out to your professors or academic advisors for guidance and potential leads. They may have connections or be able to recommend specific opportunities for you.

Overall, don't be discouraged by your undergraduate status. Many companies and organizations are open to hiring motivated and passionate students, and the experience you gain during your holidays can greatly enhance your academic and career prospects. Good luck in your search!
