Professional placement year
Professional year placements are a fantastic way to gain vital work experience and improve your employability following graduation.
Students on any of the programmes within biomedical and biomolecular sciences are eligible to apply for a professional placement year.
You can apply for a placement at the start of your second year and will start during the summer of your second year.
An industrial placement gives a real insight into a scientific career after university. You are treated as an employee and colleague from day one and your work will directly contribute to the business.
Your placement
You'll learn lots of valuable skills, and return to your studies with a renewed focus. Many students find that their results improve because of this.
