Students who take a placement in industry are a step ahead when it comes to securing the right job at the end of their course. Above all, they graduate with a year’s relevant work experience, which gives them a distinctive advantage over others.
At Brighton Business School you get the chance to take a placement year that is relevant to your degree. You will be in a position of trainee professional or trainee/junior manager, and will earn the same salary as regular employees in similar positions.
A dedicated team of staff in the Business School has links with employers throughout the UK. They offer assistance at every stage, from CV writing tuition to interview technique and mock interviews. During your placement year they also provide support and guidance, and visit you at your workplace.
Work experience can be a significant part of your education and career development, alongside the more formal study of the degree course. On placement you will take on a work-based project that replaces your final year dissertation and contributes directly to your final degree mark.
