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, in the company of other students, with an employer. 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 are now open to apply for a place on an in-person or virtual Insight Visit to Puig. Meet the people behind top fragrance, fashion, makeup and skincare brands, including Charlotte Tilbury, Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, Jean Paul Gaultier and Nina Ricci. Applications will be reviewed by Puig as they are received and spaces are limited, so we encourage you to apply early. To apply, visit: Career Lab: Insight Visit to Puig for Foundation and First Year undergraduate students.
Also coming soon... an Insight Visit to the Knepp Estate on 14 May, a local pioneering Rewilding Project. Look out for an email in March for more information.
