Yes, degrees that include a placement year or extended work experience are valued by many employers. These programs, often called "sandwich degrees," combine academic study with a full-time, paid work placement, giving you practical skills and industry exposure.

This hands-on experience can strengthen your resume and improve your employability after graduation. Employers often see graduates from such programs as better prepared for real-world roles.

If you want guidance on choosing a program with a placement year, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
