We are keen to work with and develop links with all types of companies. If you have never worked with us before or taken a student on a placement don’t worry. We have a team with the skills to help you arrange everything quickly and easily. Our placement service matches employers with students to create opportunities for mutual benefit. The placements we run vary in length and meet a range of purposes.

The types of student placements available are:

One year placements

Taking on an in-depth placement for a full year, usually starting in the summer.

Six months placement

Splitting the placement over the year. This is great if you have a project on the go

Ten weeks placements

Fitted in around the students’ degree. This could be full or part time and start at varying times of the year.

Summer placements

These tend to be for up to three months over the summer period.

Part-time placements

These offer an opportunity for one, two or three days a week, for the long or short term. Some employers find this a cost effective way to have a student placement but can’t afford someone full time

Work shadowing

These are either one day a week over a period of time or you could offer them for a short period of time.
