Student stories

The support services provided by the University for my placement were amazing and made the entire process – from sending off my CV to arriving in Texas – so much easier. I received advice and guidance at every step, which really boosted my confidence." 

My placement year helped me ultimately decide that I love the office environment and am passionate about sales and marketing. I feel confident that the skills I developed during my placement will assist me in getting a role in the future. 

My placement has helped me grow and I feel more prepared to return in my final year as a well-rounded sports science student, with a stronger skill set and clearer direction for my future.

I particularly valued the consistent support from both lab assistants and lecturers, who were always available to help with any questions. The university also provided additional support through bootcamps, office hours, and the PALS scheme, which helped me with my studies.
