Industry Placement

Industry placement

As part of the course,  students are given the opportunity to be placed in an unpaid position to gain experience within the industry. The placement will have a term of up to 3 months and will include a review and written reference from the placement host.

These placements often result in permanent positions for our students. It provides them with invaluable experience in organisations that would normally not be available without our introduction and recommendation.

Students will have the opportunity to talk to our lecturers to establish the type of placement they are best suited to and then (where possible) matched to the best opportunity that fits that type of role.
