The University actively encourages and promotes a culture of volunteering that adds to the richness of University life by engaging a diverse range of people in a variety of volunteer roles. Volunteering provides an integral link between the University and the wider community. The Volunteer Program was formalised in 2003 and has since grown to more than 2500 volunteers.

More benefits

No, volunteering is time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain.

An internship is a formal work experience arrangement that is part of an education or training course where students need to gain experience in a particular occupation or industry. Volunteering can also serve this purpose, but the driving force is your desire to help out without any financial gain.

No, volunteering does not have to relate to your study. In fact, among some of the many benefits of volunteering is discovering new skills which may open further opportunities, not to mention meeting new people.

Of course, volunteering is a great way to discover new skills and interests. An added bonus is that you will make a lot of new friends along the way.

The University Volunteer Program does not formally offer work experience placements. However, some volunteering roles can help you gain experience in the workplace.
