Faculty of Engineering and Design Placement Opportunities Industrial Placements


The Faculty of Engineering and Design has built close links with engineering companies through research, projects, placements and graduate employees. We know that working with industry ensures our curriculum is relevant to prospective employers and our students have the right employment skills.


As part of their degree, students have the option of working for a year with major industrial companies, smaller businesses or government research establishments. All students need to develop employability skills while they are at university and industrial placements contribute significantly to a student’s development preparing them for the workplace.


The benefits to your organisation of employing a placement student:


• High-quality employees without long-term commitment • An opportunity to fill a temporary vacancy or get help with a project • A chance to raise your profile on campus among a future graduate workforce • Opportunities to develop links with the University, which may lead to joint research and projects


• Investing in the next generation


Our Placement Team Unlike many other Universities, we have a dedicated Placement Team to help students and businesses with the placement process and ensure that the right student is placed with the right company. We are fully committed to industrial placements and run one of the largest and most established placement schemes in UK higher education.


Businesses and Universities working together is the way forward for a future talented workforce CBI Higher Education Task Force
