Opportunities integrated into your degree

If you're based in one of the following Schools, you may be able to complete a work placement as an integrated part of your studies.

Speak to your School Exchange Coordinator about the opportunities available to you.

Careers Services work placement module

If your School does not offer the option of a work placement abroad, you may be able to take the Careers Service Work Placement module.

This is a 120-credit module completed over the course of one academic year. You would complete this module after your penultimate year of study, extending your degree programme by one year.
