Work Experience

We know that work experience is hugely valuable for young graduates when applying for jobs.

The week-long work placement our students undertake in their third term is a very important part of the course. It gives them an insight into the world of work and the different roles within a business, as well as an understanding of the pace and responsibilities expected in the business sector they have been placed in.

We work closely with our partner boutique recruitment agencies in London and Oxford to help place our students, and we also encourage individuals to find their own placements if they have specific career interests.

We’re delighted to say that each year some of our students are offered a permanent job following the placement, based on how much they have impressed their employer within just one week.

Typical business sector placements are in property, marketing, PR, sales, business support roles, recruitment, events, education, travel and interior design.
