2nd years, now is your chance!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is your chance to complete a professional placement year between your 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> year as part of your undergraduate degree. It is a fantastic opportunity to explore an industry of your choice, to gain valuable work experience and develop your skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is definitely worth doing a placement year, it\u2019s been great! I am now in a much better position for applying for graduate roles after university now. I have loved the challenge and responsibility and learnt so much about the industry. I would encourage anyone to take the opportunity and do a placement year.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I would say to any students thinking about doing a placement \u2018DO IT!\u2019 it is such a fantastic experience. Working in a smaller business means I am learning more about what the other departments do and how the business as a whole works together. I look forward to applying my new skills during my final year and in future graduate employment.”<\/p>\n
