Placement support and staff contacts
During Semester, come along to our Careers Drop-In to get started with your placement questions.
Use Careers Drop-In to:
- Ask general questions about completing a placement as part of the University’s Placement Year module. Remember to check the Placement Year/Year in Industry web page in case the answer to your question is referenced there
- Get help with starting your placement search
For more in-depth support you can book a Placement Year/Year in Industry appointment through Handshake. Please note that these appointments are only open to Year 2 students (and some integrated Masters students) who have either registered interest in completing a placement next academic year, or who are on a year in industry degree route.
Use a Placement Year/Year in Industry appointment to:
- Reflect on your current placement position
- Consider your next placement steps
- Review an unsuccessful placement application
- Discuss a specific placement application
BEFORE BOOKING a Placement Year/Year in Industry appointment:
1. Find your key contact. Check the list below to identify the member of the Placements Team who supports your department or faculty.
