The Professional Placement programme is an excellent way to tap into our student talent and support early career development. Students on the placement year are required to complete a minimum of 24 weeks working in a professional context, as part of a businesses or organisation. For international students with a student visa, the maximum duration is 36 weeks.  

Students will undertake their placement between their second and final year of study. Placements must be full-time and only paid opportunities will be advertised. Most placement providers recruit between November and March of each year for a start date in September although alternative dates can be accommodated.  

Please reach out to the Employability Team to learn more about recruiting placement year students, and ways to introduce placement year experiences within your business or organisation.
