The benefits of employing a Bath undergraduate: Electronic & Electrical Systems


• Electronic signals, systems and communications • Digital electronic design and microelectronics • Power electronics and drives • Satellite, terrestrial and mobile communication systems


• Digital image processing Energy & Environmental


• Environmental impact and sustainability • Energy and the environment • Energy management systems • Safety and environmental reviews • Water and effluent minimisation and management • Air pollution control • Waste minimisation and management


• Fresh ideas and talent from a motivated student • A cost effective way of assessing students for future full-time employment


• Support and facilities provided by the Placement Team • No UK university has more placement experience than we do


A placement can be seen as an extended interview for both parties, and is a very cost-effective way of recruiting. Many of our students return to their placement employers after graduation or apply to companies who are regular placement providers because they are known on campus.


As a planned and budgeted resource student employees can add real value to a business.


The student had a thirst for knowledge which was a delight to be around. His enthusiasm was infectious throughout the business.
