Benefits of a work placement
If you opt to complete a work placement as part of your degree programme, the aim of this placement is to complement and develop your skills and knowledge gained in the first two years of your course.

• Gain practical and relevant work experience
• Build your confidence and develop a real-world attitude to business
• Earn a salary, gain increased responsibility and independence
• Create a network of industry contacts and subsequent job opportunities
• Gain insight into roles and employers enabling more informed career choices
• Choose a placement overseas to gain international experience

Finding a placement

Our placement and careers teams offer the following support when it comes to researching and applying for work placements:

• Weekly e-bulletins advertising placement opportunities
• Sessions on interview skills, CV clinics, mock assessment centres and psychometric tests
• Employer drop-in sessions and careers fairs

We do allow our students to complete international work placements and to source their own placements - you do not necessarily have to find your placement via the weekly e-bulletins provided by the Careers Service. If you do source your own placement, please note that it must be approved by the School to ensure that the job role is in line with your programme of study and learning outcomes.
