Work placements

Fill skills gaps and get short-term support

Whether you are a small start-up business or a large global organisation, we can help you to recruit talent bespoke to your business needs.

By working with our diverse student pool and offering work placement opportunities, you can gain additional support and resource for your organisation whilst providing real-world industry experience.

We offer several work placement options, including:

  • Short placements with a student or group of students, between 120 hours to 8 weeks as part of their studies, depending on the course
  • Undergraduate sandwich placements (or internships), between 24 and 48 weeks, with students joining you between their second and third year study from June or September
  • Postgraduate placements, between 24 and 48 weeks with students who can join you either in January or September with many students with work experience and wish to gain industry-specific experience to their course type.

There is also a 2-year graduate work visa available for international students.
