Student volunteer, internship and placement programme
We provide innovative co-curricular internships to help you gain the necessary practical skills employers in performance sport are looking for.
We work closely with the University's sport and exercise and physiotherapy academic and support staff to provide students with the opportunity to volunteer within the performance sport programmes. You will gain enhanced practical and key transferable skills and are encouraged to apply your academic studies in a real-world setting working alongside experienced practitioners.
To apply for a volunteer, internship or placement opportunity, and for more information email sport@tees.ac.uk.
