UK Careers - Undergraduates Placement Programme

Placements are designed to support student degree programmes by providing opportunities to work on projects and activities that can be used for final-year assignments. Students, depending on the length of time with the Company, undertake a series of placements within relevant departments of the organisation to ensure that maximum benefit is gained from the experience. Departmental placements are agreed prior to commencement of the contract, with the relevant Training Officer and departmental Manager/Supervisor. As well as having the opportunity to reinforce academic studies, students also have the added benefits of a competitive salary, annual leave entitlement and a well established support network.
