On some of our courses you can choose to do a 9 - 12 month placement in your third year, before returning to complete your final year at the Business School. This will be on your degree transcript and offers many benefits, including:

• Considerably enhancing your CV
• Gaining a wealth of knowledge, experience and transferable skills to set you on the right path for a successful career
• Gaining industry insight
• Earning a competitive salary whilst you learn
• Testing an industry, sector or role to see if it's right for you
• A successful placement can also lead to a job offer with your placement company upon graduation. You will also have many opportunities to develop excellent professional contacts that will stand you in good stead for the future.

If your degree does not offer the opportunity to take a 9 - 12 month placement, you could gain experience through a summer internship. This can also allow you to gain knowledge and insight to enhance your CV.

Henley Careers can provide you with expert advice and guidance – from helping you to choose the right placement, internship or graduate job, through to supporting you while working during your third year on placement.

To support you while applying we provide workshops covering all of the main selection methods used by employers, competency interview training and CV/cover letter/application form advice and drop in clinics. We encourage students to apply to a wide range of industry sectors and we offer tailored advice according to students’ needs.

Whilst on placement, you will receive a dedicated placement tutor, who will be in regular contact with you, and will visit you at your office, to support you whilst you are working. You will be able to discuss your progress, set objectives, and evaluate your performance with your manager and your -placement tutor, in order to get the most out of your placement.

Many of our learners undertake a placement year, equipping them with practical experience and key skills. By recruiting our students, employers benefit from:

• Work-Ready Candidates: Our students come with hands-on experience and are ready to contribute from day one.
• Fresh Perspectives: They bring innovative ideas and current knowledge from their coursework.
• Building your Talent Pipeline: Hiring placement students can lead to long-term employment opportunities, allowing you to nurture and retain top talent. These students, already familiar with your business culture and processes, often rise to become Future Leaders.

Partner with us and gain access to highly capable and motivated individuals prepared to make an immediate impact.
