    Ernst & Young

Accounting and Financial Management student Greg Taylor described his 12-month, Undergraduate Industrial Placement as "enlightening" - and it led to a firm job offer from a global, blue-chip company.

Greg was one of more than 60 placement students taken on by professional services firm Ernst & Young. He was in his third year of study at Loughborough’s School of Business and Economics and was hired to work as an Assurance Associate in the Audit team at the global company.

A spokesman for Ernst & Young said: "The success of our placement students is demonstrated by the fact we employ over 90% of them on to our graduate scheme each year."

Like most of Loughborough's placement students, Greg is incredibly enthusiastic about the 'invaluable experience' gained from his placement.

He said: "It helped shape my career goals and provided an insight into the working environment of a 'big four' company".
