Placement Work
We have an established Placement Year (sometimes referred to as a “Year in Industry”), which provides opportunities for students to spend up to 12 months working full-time. Placements take place between the second and the final year of study. Our students have secured positions at organisations in both the public and private sector, across a range of industries, recent examples include:
Have a business idea?
If you have an idea that you believe could become a successful business, you may be able to turn your Placement Year into a ‘Year in Enterprise’*. Your idea business plan, budget, motivation and academic record will be assessed by our team. If approved, you could use the year to start your business in a structured and supportive environment, with access to numerous training courses and extensive mentoring.
*Note that if you’re studying with us on a Student Visa, you can’t currently undertake a Year in Enterprise due to Visa regulations.
