At Sheffield University Management School, we actively encourage our students across all years to enhance their employability potential, by gaining employment experience, before they graduate. A student placement is when a student takes employment in a job role (usually paid), during their study time at Sheffield.
If you or your organisation is interested in working with Management students or graduates, placements are a great way to recruit both students and graduates.
A student placement is when a student takes employment in a job role (usually paid) during their study time at Sheffield. This can be during the summer in between their study years at undergraduate level, a year-long placement in industry in between study years at undergraduate level, immediately after their degree at postgraduate level, or working hours can be spread over a period of a few months during the student's programme. You can find out more about year placements, summer placements, the Post Graduate Advantage Scheme, and the China Gateway Scheme under the relevant sections.
