Curious about a career in the heritage sector? Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life provides work experience placements for secondary school, sixth form/college and university students to gain practical, hands-on experience working in a museum.
We host 8 placements per academic year (2 students per week) with opportunities to experience several areas of museum work, including front-of-house, curatorial/collections, learning, programming and marketing.
Please note that work placements are only offered to Secondary and Sixth Form/College students studying GCSE/A-level History.
Unfortunately, we’re not able to accept any more workplacements for 2023-2024 as we’re at capacity. Our application from will re-open in August 2024.
All applicants will be notified if we are able to host you on the dates you have requested. Successful applicants will be provided with further details about the placement and asked to come into the Museum for an informal chat.
