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.
Student Abigail S. Environmental and Sustainability BSc (Hons) One aspect I love about the Environment and Sustainability course is the multidisciplinary topics connecting science, policies, and everyday behaviours. It teaches not only about actionable change but also complex Earth systems.
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!
Graduate Jonny Psychology BSc (Hons) Someone told me early on that if I didn’t achieve a first on my degree that I shouldn’t try to be a clinical psychologist. Well, I didn’t get a first and here I am!
Student Jason Media and Communication BSc (Hons) I'm so glad I chose this programme after lots of research. The department really lives up to its reputation and everyone has been so helpful and supportive in helping me improve week-by-week. The course is really well thought out and comprehensive too, so you're well prepared as you develop your knowledge and skills. The rose tinted glasses are well and truly off now when I consume media!
Student Amie Politics and Sociology BSc (Hons) All of the lecturers are so passionate about what they teach, it's infectious. My teachers are more than happy to have a chat about the course content. I feel I'm able to say what I'm thinking, and I am greatly encouraged. Some of my best lessons have come from this course - from how to progress academically to how to trust myself and push my confidence further.
Student Pearle Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons) 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.
