Professional Experience Year
Complete a year of work experience as part of your degree.
Ambitious about your future? Want to enhance your career opportunities?
Our unique Professional Experience year will blend academic skills with hands-on professional experience, so you can excel.
After completing your first year of study on your chosen postgraduate degree, you'll then complete your Professional Experience Year. This will give you real career experience through an immersive range of work experience programmes designed to enhance your employability.
If your degree includes a Professional Experience Year, you have the option of undertaking a 30-week placement or participate in the Career Immersion Programme on campus. This unique opportunity provides you with distinct pathways to develop your expertise.
See below for the structure of the programme and the relevant degree pathways.
Work experience options
