The University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton are offering students in Year 12 the opportunity to apply for LIVE virtual work experience delivered through Microsoft Teams.
This programme is open to all students based in the UK however there are places set aside for students who meet 2 or more widening participation criteria.
A typical timetable usually includes:
