A Professional Placement Year is available on most of our Undergraduate programmes as a 4-year programme or you can convert to one from your 3-year degree at a later stage.

Doing a Placement Year will help you to grow in confidence, learn new skills and build professional networks.

You may even get a job offer before you finish your placement. We will help you every step of the way.

• Professional Placement Year students are offered support and training from day one
• Get the opportunity to engage with placement students from across the university in immersive placement preparatory boot camps
• Get the opportunity to contextualize your academic theory into practice and explore your potential future career
• Gain a competitive advantage, and graduate with a year's experience under your belt and a passport to your future 
• Placement year students are more likely to get a higher education classification and salary when they graduate
