Met Office: Undergraduate work placements

	Undergraduate work placements

Salary £11,750 per annum (pro rata)

Placement at the Met Office, Exeter.
Closing date: 31 January 2007

48-week industrial placement

These are aimed at students for whom a year in industry is a requirement of their course. You will gain an insight into how the Met Office works, as well as experience of value to other potential employers once you graduate.

Summer placement

We welcome applications for undergraduates wishing to spend up to three months of their summer holiday working with us and gaining useful, transferable skills.

We offer a number of placements to undergraduates at our headquarters and operations centre in Exeter. The type of placement varies and can be arranged so you learn skills in a specific area, or just as your first encounter with the world of business.

Changing business requirements and structures make it difficult to predict the availability and types of placement that will be offered each year.
