Professional placements
Accelerate your prospects with hands-on experience in credible organisations.
We were one of the UK's first business schools to include a year-long placement as a built-in part of our degrees. For you, it means the chance to get some practical experience under your belt, build sought-after skills and get a heads-up in the jobs market.
We work with hundreds of organisations worldwide, which means there’s a lot of choice for potential placements.
It’s up to you to secure your own placement, but our dedicated Placements Office has an exceptional success rate in helping students find the perfect opportunity. The team will be on hand to help you with the whole process, from support with applications, interviews and assessment centres, to making the most of the placement itself.
Every year we see students who go on placement come back more confident, mature in outlook, ready for responsibility and more focused on their career goals.
Go on placement as part of your degree to:
Test drive a career
and fine-tune your final year module choices
Make an impression
around a third of placement students are offered a graduate job with their placement employer
Develop key skills and experiences employers are looking for
to stand out in interviews
Put theory into practice
