Benefits of an industry placement
“One benefit of completing a sandwich placement is being able to experience your degree in action and put into practice the knowledge obtained whilst studying. We were often asked to read through leases at university which I now do almost every day. I know when I return to university I will have a greater depth of understanding about my course and the placement could even lead to an early offer on the Graduate Programme.”
