University really helped me find my independence. The placement year was quite a challenge but ultimately very valuable, as it gave me the confidence that I could take on anything thrown my way and also proved me as a good programmer and software designer.
I made many lifelong friends at Nottingham Trent University and really value the time I spent there and would love to do it all again if I hadn't got used to having a decent income!

Excellent placement opportunities

Placements

NTU is one of the most employment-focused universities. Increasingly, employers want to recruit graduates who have real-world work experience. That’s why all of our courses, across every subject area, offer you a work experience opportunity. Our experts help build and support your future with a range of career programmes and events.

On this course, after your second year, you will have the opportunity to take a year's work placement (sandwich placement). This will give you the chance to gain vital experience and put your knowledge into practice. You're also twice as likely to secure a graduate job within six months if you take a work placement.

Our recent students have taken placements across a wide range of companies including Intel, Vauxhall and Xerox. They secured varied roles such as Retail Systems Analyst, Software Development Engineer and Programmer.

You'll be supported and assessed throughout your placement year and will write a reflective report and diary at the end of your placement. When you successfully complete your placement, you will be eligible to receive an additional award of a Diploma in Professional Practice.

Find out more about work placements.

I'd definitely do a placement year. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn a tremendous amount of skills in a short time, and it prepares you for the real world of work, and what employers expect from you. Use your placement as a free learning opportunity to pick up or improve as many skills as you can and to increase your network of contacts in the industry.
