A Placement Year is a great opportunity to gain work experience and to jump-start your career. It is a full-time internship in a company or not-for-profit organisation that lasts between 9 and 12 months, usually occurring between the 2nd and 3rd years of your degree. Placements can be in any field and are usually paid.  Assessment is pass/fail and your degree certificate will refer to your placement. Careers and Placements is currently managing a Placement Year program. Learn more about the program here:
