Yes, many universities in the UK and Ireland offer placement opportunities as part of their degree programs, which can help you gain work experience during your studies and support your employability during the 18-month post-study work visa (Graduate Route in the UK, Third Level Graduate Scheme in Ireland).

- In the UK, placements are often integrated into courses, and universities provide career services, job fairs, and industry connections to help students secure relevant work experience.
- In Ireland, accredited placement modules are offered in some postgraduate programs, giving students practical exposure before using their post-study work visa.

Visa rules and placement availability are subject to change.
