Gain valuable work experience
Work experience is a critical factor in gaining future employment after you graduate. To boost your employability, you can choose to do a placement as part of almost all undergraduate degrees we offer at ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û. Placements can be a year in length (taken between Years 2 and 3), three months or two weeks.
Why take a Placement Year?
A Placement Year provides you with a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons and develop new skills. During the placement, you’ll be working with a self-sourced organisation, relevant to your degree subject and will be fully supported throughout by a dedicated member of staff at your academic School and the University’s Skills and Employability Services.
You’ll gain a different perspective on your subject and will make valuable connections in the world of work. When you've completed the placement, you're sure to return to your studies more motivated, independent, and confident.
