Birmingham City University

The job experience you will gain while on placement can be quite beneficial when looking for full-time work. In fact, many of the students wind up working as permanent workers for the company where they completed their placements following graduation.

You may be expected to complete a placement as part of your course, or you may choose to do so on your own time while at university. These experiences are often shorter and will complement your programme, allowing you to balance learning and gaining the necessary experience. 

Your instructors and the Careers Team will provide you with complete assistance for any placement through lectures, seminars, workshops, and one-on-one guidance.

You will receive the following assistance:

• How to obtain a job and where to look for one
• Which alternatives for placement are best for you
• Preparing for interviews, CVs, and applications
