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. We also offer week-long work experience for pupils in years 10-11 at school.

48-week industrial placement

You will stay with us for a year and probably sample work and gain experience in different areas of our business. You would be paid a salary according to your qualifications, experience and job level. We hope that you would gain some valuable insight into how the Met Office works, as well as gaining experience that you could offer to other potential employers once you graduate.

One to three month summer placement

Most commonly accepted during summer vacation, we welcome applications from undergraduates wishing to spend their holiday working in a pleasant environment gaining valuable, transferable skills as well as receiving a reasonable salary.

One-week work experience

This programme for year 10-11 pupils has been suspended until further notice.

The closing date for applications is 31 January of the year for which you wish to undertake your placement.
