"I learned what skills I’ll need for the future so I’ve been able to tailor my course to match. I know it’ll give me an advantage for when start work."
Samiha, business and marketing placement
"It's set me up so I’m ready for anything I do next - a job or a masters. It’s given me new skills and perspectives and helped me develop my interests outside of the course."
Natasha, psychology research placement
"I use my studies to influence my work at my placement and then take that experience and feed it back into my uni work. It's had a big impact on what I want to do in the future."
George, music teaching placement
The Placements Office helped me secure a year-long placement which has been an incredible and invaluable experience, helping confirm what I want to do in the future.
