Work placements
Preparing for your future
"I decided to do a placement primarily because I wanted to gain experience in an area that I was considering working in after university. It's a great chance to see how your degree could fit into the real world, and apply some of the knowledge you have gained in the past two years into a real-life scenario."
Alice | GSD and Business Studies Graduate, Year-long Work Placement at Outcomes Based Healthcare
