Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to build degree related experiences and make some valuable contacts. If you're not sure where to start then check out these volunteering sites - make sure that you look for degree relevant opportunities, this is not a time to be a collector at the station!
You will not require insurance for this as Volunteer organisations have their own insurance.
