Placement support and staff contacts
During Semester, come along to our Careers Drop-in to get started with your Placement Year questions.
For more in-depth support you can book a Placement Year appointment through Handshake. Please note that Placement Year appointments are only open to Year 2 students (and some integrated Masters students) who have registered their interest in completing a placement next academic year.
BEFORE BOOKING a Placement Year appointment, please first check the information below as your point of contact may differ depending on the department or faculty that you are in; where possible, aim to book an appointment with the associated member of the Placements Team. If you are not sure who to contact or book an appointment with, please email the central Placements Team on careers-placements@york.ac.uk
