Offer a student placement
Thank you for considering a placement opportunity for our Business School students.
All our courses combine theory with practice to ensure our highly motivated students are equipped to succeed in today’s rapidly changing global business environment. Our undergraduate degrees are continually monitored to ensure they meet the demands of employers, and many of them have been developed in partnership with industry. The placement offers students the opportunity to learn how to make a practical difference to organisations, society and the business world, allowing them to progress with purpose.
We were one of the first business schools to include a year-long placement as a mandatory part of our undergraduate degree courses and have a long history of placing students in top organisations throughout the UK and beyond such as 3M, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Lloyds Bank, Microsoft, Natixis, PwC, Waitrose and Walt Disney to name a few. Loughborough Business School has a dedicated Placements Office that works with over 400 organisations globally, placing high calibre students in industry for up to a year.
A salaried professional placement offers undergraduates priceless work experience that prepares them for graduate employment, improves their performance and understanding in their final year and sets them apart to future employers. That is why all our undergraduate courses have the opportunity to include a professional placement as an integral part of the degree between the second and final year.
