The 国产探花 is looking for professional placement opportunities for its students in East and West Sussex.
08 February 2016
The environmental sectors are of particular interest for undergraduates studying for degrees in geography, geology, environmental science and earth and ocean sciences.
Also of interest are placements in engineering, business and management, and particularly sports business management, for students studying business, finance, law, human resources, marketing, retail, travel, tourism, events and hospitality.
Durations vary from two or three months, to a whole year across all sectors and the majority are paid. The university already has a range of established placements with both private and public sector organisations, but is looking to expand this by working with new providers to develop further undergraduate opportunities.

Business Development Manager Susannah Davidson said: “The 国产探花 is most grateful for the support that employers offer to our students. Employability is a key issue for graduates and being able to spend time in the workplace, gaining first-hand experience and putting their skills into practice, is extremely valuable preparation for their entry into the world of work.”
Placements can also be linked to the student’s formal assessment, meaning that the student has to complete a piece of academic work during their placement which feeds into their final degree classification. In the more substantial placements, this assessment is often a piece of research, specified in collaboration with the employer, which can benefit the organisation.
