Provide a student placement

A student placement is when a student takes employment in a job role (usually paid) during their study time at Sheffield. Most students can undertake a year-long placement, in the UK or overseas, usually at the end of their second or penultimate year. Placements normally last a minimum of 38 weeks and students are supported by the University throughout the duration of their placement.

Employing a Management School student through a placement can provide your organisation with many benefits.

• It's an opportunity to gain fresh ideas and enthusiasm
• A chance to access up to date management theory, skills, and knowledge
• A placement student can help you complete a business project
