We’ve been building our relationships with businesses through placements for almost 60 years, so you don’t need to have your own connections to find the placement you want.
Most of our undergraduate courses give you the chance to take a professional placement (sometimes called an internship or year in industry).2 It’s why our graduates are some of the most sought-after in the country and have been consistently for the last ten years.3
You could work in a business or organisation, apply your academic knowledge, and gain practical work experience. Your work could make an impact on the world before you even graduate.
During your placement, you'll usually pay a reduced tuition fee to the University instead of the full year's fee. The reduced fee pays for support from our Placement teams before, during, and after your placement. Find out more about the tuition fees you'll pay for your course.
Some placements are paid so you could earn a salary while you work.
Placements can last between six and 12 months depending on your course and employer. You can even take a placement in different parts of the world.4
Most of our undergraduate students choose a course with a placement5 or study abroad so, when you return to finish your degree, you'll be back with people you know.
