Gain real world experience: Placements offer an opportunity to put your knowledge into practice, deepen your understanding and develop new skills.
Improve your performance: There is growing evidence that work placement students perform better when they complete their studies, achieving more of their potential.
Earn while you learn: Most placement students are paid during their time in work
Put yourself in demand: No matter what degree class you attain, a placement programme greatly increases the demand from graduate-level employers
We understand that in today's competitive jobs market, more and more employers expect new graduates to have substantial experience of the workplace. Completing an industrial placement is an excellent way to put what you have learned on your course into practice and develop new skills relevant to your future career.
This experience can prove to be a significant advantage when seeking full-time employment - indeed, many of our students end up returning to the company where they undertook their placements as permanent employees after they graduate.
On average, our placement students secure a salary in their first job eight per cent higher than those who did not undertake a placement, as well as securing better results in their degrees.
Take a look at our video profiles or download our brochure to hear what our students and industry partners have to say about their placement experience.
