What Industry says


Unilever took a strategic decision to strengthen links with the top universities in order to access future talent in the technical disciplines of chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering. Bath provides high calibre young people hungry and keen to develop and do well. They gain exposure to the real world in a technology driven, business organisation leading the way in FMCG. They add real value as a full member of the team, expected to deliver within our new products, innovation and supply chain capability.

The undergraduate placement works for both Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and the student. For JLR it gives an opportunity to see a potential graduate employee at work and make an assessment of their suitability over the year placement. It will also result in a piece of work being done that would have been done by an Engineer, either something that could add value to the product or perhaps pull forward a new feature to appear earlier in the car. For the placement student it gives them a clear idea of the world of work and whether they want to be employed by JLR.

We believe this is a real ‘win win’ relationship as we get enthusiastic and talented engineers to work with us and the students get an excellent grounding in what it is like to work in this highly technical environment and learn many news skills in the process.
