All of our degrees offer you the option of spending your third year gaining practical experience on a business placement. Business placements are a great way to develop your employment marketability and to engage with employers early in their recruitment pipeline. We actively encourage you to explore this as an option within your degree. A placement requires a minimum of forty weeks of work experience and the placement begins in the summer following completion of the second year, and this then becomes the third year of a four-year degree programme. This allows you to really explore and understand your job and to find out if the career or company is for you.
You will develop your practical skills, confidence and maturity.
You can focus on a specific career path -many employers recruit graduates from their placement programme.
You will be able to contextualise your studies better, be more mature in your attitude to work.
You may decide to draw on your working experiences and access a more fulfilling dissertation research subject.
You will gain invaluable job search and graduate research skills by engaging in the competitive placement recruitment process.
To ensure you are getting the most out of your experience, we support your placement in a number of ways:
**Year 4**
Central to this year is the Dissertation. This allows you to conduct an extended, independent Research Project on a Marketing topic of your own choosing, under the close supervision of an academic member of staff.
