I would definitely recommend to take one!

I think it should be an option for everybody now! So many graduates aren’t able to get jobs without experience and this is a great way to get it 🙂

Oooh are you still up in Newcastle?

And yes it’s such a great experience, I’m currently writing reasons why you should do a placement for first years at Newcastle and I just can’t recommend it enough! 🙂

Completely agree and feel so lucky to be able to have the opportunity! 🙂

Thank you! I actually wrote one about work experience here: https://www.uptownoracle.com/why-is-work-experience-important-and-how-has-it-helped-me/ and my placement is an internship so it might not be different enough for another post? But thank you for the suggestion, I’ll see what I can work up 🙂

I really wish I’d had the option to do something like this when I was at uni. A lot of my friends got the option and I was so jealous! It’s so true about the ridiculous level of experience they want for entry level positions too. A placement year is definitely useful x

Placement is definitely good and should be offered on all courses. When you graduate and apply for jobs people always say you need experience! It also helps to see if you really enjoy it and also gets you that experience to see if you could cope with the work!

Great post!
