Work Placement

We will very strongly urge all students to obtain relevant work experience in order to maximise their employability. Moreover, both the Economics and the Business Economics pathways allow, but do not require, all students to undertake a paid placement year on completion of the second year. If they complete this successfully they will qualify for the “Sandwich” award in their degree title. Additionally they will be eligible to attempt to obtain a City And Guilds qualification based on their placement portfolio. There are no fees for the placement year.
