20. Life after Bristol
1 Nicholas Phan
(BSc Economics and Management 2010)
Bristol was an environment for me to
step out of my comfort zone and gain
new perspectives. This made me more
confident to try new things even if it might
lead to failure. During my time at Bristol,
I acquired the soft skills that are now far
more useful to me than any equation:
organisation, leadership and bravery.
Nicholas is Founder of Biju Bubble Tea
2 Will Ashford Brown
(BSc Environmental Geoscience 2012)
Studying for a BSc in Environment
Geoscience helped me realise where my
interests lay and, ultimately, led to pursing
a postgraduate degree. The support
offered by faculty staff and the Careers
Service greatly helped me to prepare for
the challenges awaiting life post-Bristol.
Will is Geophysicist at CGG
3 Steph Croft-Simon
(BSc Sociology 2010)
A degree from Bristol helped my career by
providing me with the necessary tools and
confidence to start my own business. My
degree offered me so much more than the
qualification. I learned about myself and
the environment and people I wanted to be
around when it came to choosing a career.
Steph is Founder/Director
of Nom Foods Limited
4 Alex Ayling
(MSci Chemistry with Study in
Continental Europe 2002)
After studying Chemistry, I took the
less-than-obvious career path into
media, but my Bristol degree was still
instrumental in setting me up professionally.
Although, I have made an interactive
chemistry experiment for the BBC using
the power of YouTube annotations,
so maybe there was a link after all!
It was during the Insight Into Media
course run by the Careers Service that
I first realised that it would be possible
for a humble science student like me to
make the leap into the creative industries;
it allowed me to think beyond the
standard progression expected of me.

LIFE AFTER BRISTOL
21. Get ahead
Internships and work experience
Internships can offer invaluable insight into an
industry or role and, increasingly, internships and
work placements are seen as a stepping stone to
future graduate employment. During the Autumn
term look out for internship events via the Careers
Service and log in to mycareer to search for
vacancies throughout the year.
University of Bristol internship scheme
Our own internships scheme provides high quality,
paid, work experience with a small or medium
enterprise (SME). Internships are flexible to fit
around your study and can be four or eight weeks
long, full or part time, and can take place during
terms or vacations.
Companies taking part in the scheme
include charities, publishing houses, research
consultancies and non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) offering roles in marketing,
events, research, IT and business development.
Positions are advertised on mycareer and if you
source your own opportunity, you may be able
to apply for funding through the scheme.
Santander Universities Internship Programme
The Careers Service works with the Santander
Universities Internship Programme to provide
internships with SMEs. The programme provides
12-week, full-time positions for final-year students
and recent graduates.
Faculty of Engineering internships
The Industrial Liaison Office in the Faculty of
Engineering provides paid internships for first year
Engineering and Computer Science students.
The internships last for six to 12 weeks during
the summer and aim to help you explore career
development in engineering or technology
industries while enhancing your employability.
Visit bristol.ac.uk/engineering/ilo.
Industry accreditation
Many of our degree courses are industry
accredited, providing external confirmation that
our courses meet professional, statutory and
regulatory requirements. Some employers prefer
to recruit graduates with accredited degrees
and such degrees are likely to be recognised in
other countries. Several courses offer exemptions
toward a professional qualification. Check course
pages for full details.
Part time jobs
Gaining experience through part-time work can
be a highly effective way to strengthen your CV.
The JobShop team source and advertise part-
time vacancies on mycareer, many exclusive to
Bristol students. They also run drop-in sessions
throughout the week to help you find and apply
for work. Throughout the year, there are five
part-time jobs fairs on campus offering a direct
route to regional recruiters.
Volunteering
Many students volunteer as a rewarding way to
make a difference to their community, meet new
friends and have fun. Volunteering can also help
you to develop new skills and experiences, which
can boost your employability. The Students’
Union advertise volunteering opportunities if
you want to volunteer with local charities or
community projects and they can help you
set up your own project: bristolsu.org.uk/
volunteering.
Gain industry endorsed recognition
The Bristol PLUS Award, endorsed by 45
leading graduate recruiters including Airbus,
Burges Salmon and Unilever, rewards students
who have developed significant life and
professional skills through work experience,
volunteering or other extracurricular activities.
Students who demonstrate exceptional
skill development can progress onto the
Outstanding Award.
“In such a competitive job
market, the ability of a potential
employee to demonstrate
success both academically
and in extra-curricular fields is
a key differentiator. Knowing
a candidate will not only be
intellectually capable but
has proactively taken part in
corporate responsibility activities
means Zurich in the UK holds
achievements such as the Bristol
PLUS Award in high regard”

Each year more than 500 Bristol
students travel abroad as part of
their degree to destinations as
varied as Madrid, Copenhagen,
California and Singapore.
Studying or working abroad is
an exciting adventure and also a
great investment in your future.
Research shows that students
with global experience are more
likely to be employed six months
after graduation and earn higher
starting salaries. Students with
cross-cultural experience are
increasingly sought after by
employers, many of whom
recognise and value the skills
gained by living abroad.
A world of opportunity
Depending on your degree course, you could
have the option to go abroad for a semester
or full year at one of our partner universities.
Our Global Opportunities team are on hand
to provide practical advice and support from

in the title, or talk to your prospective University
department about the opportunities it offers.
Work abroad
If you study a language degree at Bristol you will
also have the option of doing a work placement
in Continental Europe, Latin America or Russia,
which is a great way to enhance your CV. This
placement forms an integrated part of your
degree course.
In recent years Bristol students have worked at
companies such as Clifford Chance in Madrid,
Air France in Paris and MC Saatchi in Berlin.
The excellent career prospects these
opportunities provide are demonstrated
by the popularity of these placements.
All students on European study and work
placements are eligible to opt in to the
Erasmus+ programme which provides students
with a grant to help with travel and living costs.

Studying at university is
one of the most significant
investments you will ever make
and financing your studies may
seem daunting at first. If you
have the talent and ability to
succeed at Bristol, concerns
about funding your studies
should not stop you from
applying. The University offers
a range of generous bursaries
and scholarships to help with the
costs of studying and living here.
UK bursaries
The 2017 bursary support package will be
announced in summer 2016. As a guide, the
bursary support for 2016 entrants is as follows:
Household income Bursary entitlement
£25,000 or below £2,000
£25,001-£30,000 £1,250
£35,001-£40,000 £750
£40,001-£42,620 £500
Conditions apply. To find out if you are eligible, visit
bristol.ac.uk/fees-funding.
Access to Bristol bursaries
The University continues to invest in the local
community by offering additional bursaries to
local students from low income households.
One example is the Access to Bristol scheme
which gives local students a taste of life at the
University by providing access to its academic
expertise and facilities.
Students who successfully complete the Access
to Bristol scheme and meet the qualifying
household income threshold will be eligible for
the Access to Bristol bursary. Details of the 2017
Access to Bristol bursary will be announced in
summer 2016. As a guide, the bursary for 2016
entrants is as follows:
• a full tuition fee waiver for the first year
of study only, in addition to a living cost
bursary of £3,750 for the first year;
• a living cost bursary of £3,750 for each
subsequent year of study, provided that
the recipient continues to meet the
eligibility criteria.
Find out more about the scheme and how to
apply at bristol.ac.uk/access-to-bristol.
University of Bristol Financial
Assistance Fund
The University has invested in its own financial
assistance funds to provide discretionary
additional support for UK undergraduate
students who, through no fault of their own,
find themselves in financial difficulty.
There are also a small number of special
scholarships available:
Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships
Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships are available
to undergraduate students with exceptional
musical, dramatic or sporting talent outside their
normal field of study. Last year 20 scholarships
of up to £3,000 were available.

how to apply at bristol.ac.uk/fees-funding/

UK students, or EU students currently residing in
the UK, where the annual household income is
£25,000 or less.
Find out more about the programme and how
to apply at bristol.ac.uk/fees-funding/

of our courses. An offer can be unconditional (if you have already
met our requirements) or, more commonly, conditional on you
gaining these grades in your examinations.
Contextual offer (UK only)
Contextual offers are typically a grade lower than the standard offer.
We may make a contextual offer to applicants who attend schools
or colleges which ranked in the bottom 40 per cent of all schools
and colleges in the previous academic year according to the
average score per A-level student; the average score achieved for
each individual A-level taken there; and the percentage of students
applying to higher education. We are committed to recruiting the
best students to our courses, and we have evidence showing that
students from these schools perform just as well at degree level as
their peers from high-achieving schools.
More information, including a list of these schools, is available
at bristol.ac.uk/ug-apply.
English language
We require all applicants to meet particular language requirements
in spoken and written English to ensure that you benefit fully from

for your chosen course. Each course will specify one of the
University’s six language profiles, which are explained at
bristol.ac.uk/ug-language-requirements.
Selection
The University assesses applications in accordance with a
clear set of principles, which are explained at bristol.ac.uk/
admissions-policies.
We also publish admissions statements for all of our
courses, which outline how applications are assessed,
if that course holds interviews and what format these
take, etc. The admissions statement for your chosen
course is available within the individual course entry
on the online course finder.

operation of law in society. Whatever your plans,
this subject provides a great foundation for many
careers, both in and out of law. All of our law
degrees are accredited by the Bar Standards
Board and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
All applicants must sit the National Admissions
