Placement

A placement is an opportunity for you to gain industry experience with an employer while you are at university. Typically, you start a year-long placement between your second and third year. Many of our courses offer you the choice to take a placement year or 'sandwich year' as part of your degree.

Several courses include compulsory module placements, such as postgraduate teaching and some health courses. Please ask your programme leader for further details. There are also shorter placements you can take, called internships, lasting from 5 days – 6 months which last for a few weeks or months, on either a part-time or full-time basis.
