The professional placement year takes place after the full time year. It allows students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The work placement is an assessed part of the course and is therefore covered by a Student Route visa. Graduates are presented with a range of opportunities in the employment market. The alumni have either set up their own business, worked in SMEs, consultancy or multinational companies.
