Internships and placements

Our BSc Business Management Year in Industry programme is fast becoming our largest undergraduate programme, proving extremely popular with students and employers.

Students spend their first two years studying at the Business School, then undertake a full-time paid 33 week (minimum) placement in industry and return to the University to complete their degree in the fourth year. If you are unclear whether any placement opportunities you have would qualify as a business-related placement please contact Ruth Meredith for an informal discussion. 

The MBA End of Study Internship scheme allows MBA graduates to undertake a full-time 12 week post-study internship, providing a cost effective, professional resource to help you solve a business issue, develop strategic recommendations, develop a growth plan or implement a new initiative. If you would like to discuss any ideas you may have with us, please email Yasmin Farrington.

We currently run company-focused and sector-based events and workshops. We are always looking for new companies to participate. 

Guest Speakers

We host many guest speakers, both as part of the curriculum and as part of extra-curricular development.

We can arrange for groups of our students interested in a particular company and sector to get a feel for a working environment.
