The University has set ambitious targets to become net zero in its carbon emissions by 2035. This includes 'Scope 3' emissions outside of our direct control, primarily as a result of travel and our carbon emitted in our supply chain.
This internship is an opportunity to gain experience in this emerging area and to support the Sustainability and Procurement teams in their efforts to achieve net zero.
This micro internship is for 30 hours in total (including 4 hours for training) and is aimed at students who may not have had any professional prior work experience and are looking for an opportunity that supports them to develop their employability skills.
