Work Placements

Work placement modules/programmes are available in most undergraduate and some Masters degree courses. They are a fantastic way of gaining work experience and developing a range of skills, experiences and knowledge to enhance employability, careers (they help career development thinking, and enable you to test career ideas) and future job prospects.

We offer a wide range of advice, guidance and learning to students to support them in:

  • Deciding which placement would suit them.
  • Finding a suitable work placement.
  • Applying for a placement e.g. CVs, applications.
  • Competing for a work placement e.g. Interviews
  • Preparing to start their placement
  • Issues/concerns whilst on placement
