Student and graduate talent

Ready for business

We pride ourselves on the many ways in which we encourage our students to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviour to enable them to respond to the rapidly changing economic environment.

Our placement programmes offer you the chance to benefit from our students' up to date knowledge, enthusiasm and fresh perspective on the workplace, and in return they get the chance to gain real life experience, which makes them some of the most employable graduates in the UK.

Our graduates combine academic thoroughness with a real appreciation of the skills and abilities businesses need. Every year, they are recruited by a wide range of organisations.

The specific knowledge needed in each sector may be very different, but we know that the common thread amongst employers is the need for professional and able people to help achieve your aims and objectives. That sums up our students and graduates.

There are several ways in which you can work with our students and graduates.

Work-based placements for students

New talent. New ideas. New opportunities.

Undergraduate placements are generally between 36 and 48 weeks long, starting between June and September following completion of the second year of study.

Project-based programmes

Projects

If there's a project in your office that's been sidelined due to lack of resources, we can help.

Becoming a mentor

Mentoring

Businesses across the region play a significant role in the development of our students through activities such as mentoring, which gives students a fresh perspective on the demands of the modern workplace.

Raising your profile

Sponsorship

Corporate sponsorship involves sponsoring a University award or event, for example the Enterprise Challenge competition, and offers you the opportunity to promote your business to a large audience.
