This course also has the option of a one year paid work placement, to boost your employability even further. And throughout the degree you will have access to employability events, guest speakers from the business world, and access to mentoring and careers support.

Over the course of your studies, you will gain the key attributes employers value, such as commercial acumen, self-reflection and emotional intelligence, together with skills in research, numeracy, project management and leadership.
