Start exploring and developing your skills, and find out about the opportunities available for foundation and first-year students.
Insight visits
Insight visits allow you to spend a day with an employer, in the company of other students. You will gain an understanding of a company’s culture and values – and a chance to network. Students have previously visited the Knepp Estate, Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club and Gatwick Airport. Transport will be provided where required.
“It made me understand that there are various paths that you can take in your life and you’re not confined to only one career with your degree” – Insight visit participant.
Applications for the 2025/26 Insight Visits to the Knepp Estate and Puig have now closed. Information about our 2026/27 Insight Visits will be shared.
