Course Overview

In Year 3, you will have the opportunity to undertake a one-year salaried work placement or a 12-week unpaid placement on the €˜Connect to Business route. It is an opportunity to consolidate and apply the learning you have gained in Years 1 and 2, and to acquire real-world business experience that further develops your professional skills and business acumen. During your placement, you can expect to work in the UK or abroad and report to a manager who will assess your performance on a regular basis. You also continue your academic learning by compiling a portfolio to provide evidence of your employability. Previous students who have completed the Business Ideas and Opportunities module have opted to run their own company instead of participating in a traditional placement, with support from staff in our Centre for Entrepreneurship and an industry mentor.
