Placement modules are designed to increase your overall competitiveness in the graduate job market. They are a fantastic way to source and secure valuable work experience opportunities as a core element of your degree programme and enable you to develop crucial employability skills and enhance your future job prospects.

Students who undertake placements generally have better graduate outcomes than those who do not undertake a placement. The benefit of gaining work experience through a module is that you have the support of the Placements team in securing your placement opportunity through 1:1 support, workshops and lectures designed to develop your job-hunting skills.
