Work experience
We are enthusiastic about offering the chance to experience the work and culture of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to as wide a range of people as possible.
In previous years our work experience students have had a real impact at the FCO, getting involved with work in the political section, assisting our counter-terrorism and couunter-proliferation teams, as well as getting real experience of service delivery in our Consular teams.
You can also read accounts of what work experience at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office is really like in our 'day in the life' section.
