Recruit our students
Professional Training placements give companies the opportunity to employ our undergraduates for a year before the final year of their course. We have long-standing relationships with a variety of companies on this scheme.
Offer a placement
Many of our students do a Professional Training placement between their second and final year within industry. This provides invaluable experience and training during their course. It also provides an opportunity for employers to attract excellent students to work for them, many of whom return to their placement employers following completion of their degree.
Professional Training placements typically run for 12 months, from summer to summer, with our students starting to look for companies in October through to June.
Get in contact
Our Professional Training Support Office manages the liaison with placement companies and students, and advertises placement opportunities to our undergraduates.
