Work Placements (2020)
Many of our degrees offer work placement opportunities or projects with businesses and community groups.
In most cases, these can count as part of your programme of study. As well as valuable work experience for your CV, some work placements can lead to employment after graduation. Work placements often happen in your last year of study, so you can apply what you have learnt in your earlier years in the real world.
As well as the subject-specific work and industry placements described under the relevant subject entries, the work placements listed below are available.
For more information and advice on how a work placement might fit into your programme of study, speak with a Student Advisor in your Division.
