A wide range of providers including major corporations, smaller businesses, charities, research institutions and government departments have supported our excellent students with placements.

Our students can be a real benefit to your organisation, offering you:

• fresh ideas and talent from a motivated student
• up-to-date knowledge of the latest industry developments and new technology
• opportunities to develop and invest in the next generation

As a placement provider, you'll gain:

• a chance to raise your profile on campus among a future graduate workforce

Our placements team provides the link between students and companies. They guide students through the placement process, ensuring candidates are well equipped and choose the right company to apply to.

They also offer full guidance to placement companies about the process and benefits.
