Becoming our placement partner is an opportunity for you to:

• employ a highly capable student able to contribute new ideas to your company
• raise your profile on campus by organising presentations, skills sessions, mock interviews for a future graduate workforce
• build long-term relationships that could lead to employment opportunities
• develop the next generation of engineers

We develop courses in consultation with industry, equipping our students with the transferable skills needed for the workplace. Our students have the technical ability, creativity and teamwork experience needed by practising engineers. Students learn problem solving, decision making and communication skills during project-based work. We nurture innovation by encouraging students to take ideas from concept through to end product.

The first two years of our courses provide a breadth of theoretical and practical knowledge. Our learning environment prepares students to make an immediate contribution to your company. They have experience in the areas of:

• design and innovation
• operations and productions
• electronic and electrical systems
• energy and the environment

We run one of the most established placements schemes in UK higher education. We placed over 350 students last year at a wide variety of employers, from small businesses to large multinational companies.

We've recently worked with:

• Airbus
• BP
• Buro Happold
• Dyson
• Hawkeye
• Laing O’Rourke
• Unilever
• Williams F1

Placements start in June, July or August and last for 12 months. Our team will make regular contact with our students during the placement. This is to gather feedback, check progress and ensure student well-being.

If you represent a company interested in employing a student, we would love to hear from you.
