Student Talha N. Chemistry MChem The best thing about my course is the opportunity to apply and transfer the theoretical background of what we learn in our lectures to the laboratory every week. The skills we learn in the laboratory alone are incredibly useful as we learn not only skills for chemistry, but also professional development skills like teamwork, data analysis and more.
Student Michael Business Management with Marketing BSc (Hons) I never planned to do a placement year or study abroad, but in my third year I did both. It was an awesome experience! I studied at Northern Arizona University. This was one of the best experiences in my life. Doing a placement in the UK also significantly helped me develop professionally: developing new skills, networking and having significant responsibilities.
Graduate Rhea H. Corporate Environmental Management MSc I found the industrial placement a brilliant foot in the door, and the connections I made through the guest speakers helped me to secure my first role in sustainability soon after graduation.
Graduate Raj Joshi Pawan Joshi Master of Business Administration MBA The programme has enabled me to transition from a technically focused role to a more strategic position in product marketing, and I'm now pursuing my dream of building my own marketing agency.
Student Niamh Veterinary Biosciences BSc I worked for the reptile department at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park on placement. I was responsible for many of the daily chores and management of the animals, from cleaning the enclosures to checking health and preparing food!
Student Pearle Sport and Exercise Science BSc 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."
Graduate Chelsea Psychology BSc Without my placement I would not be where I am today: almost five years on and I still work at Broadmoor Hospital. I am so glad I did a placement; it changed the course of my career for the better.
Student Jess Sociology BSc (Hons) 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.
Graduate Maria Biochemistry BSc My placement completely set me up for my early career. I began working in a laboratory with skills beyond the level I was being trained at in my new job, and it gave me a head-start to carry out my own research to a high standard."
