Postgraduate placement courses

A masters degree with a placement year will give you a chance to put what you learn on your course into practice in the workplace. These can help you stand out to employers by:

  • graduating with real business experience
  • completing a business project as part of your masters qualification, showing your ability to put what you have learnt into practice
  • establishing a professional network before graduating. Many students go on to take up full-time roles in the companies where they took their placement.
