Applications now open for the School of Business and Law placement scholarships

Are you finding it difficult to fund a year-long placement in industry? Maybe you think a placement isn’t the right option for you due to financial barriers?

A year’s placement in industry helps our students to graduate with confidence, experience and contacts. Importantly, it demonstrates employability skills and readiness for work. Placements also give you the opportunity to see what life is really like in industry.

Our School of Business and Law placement scholarship could provide you with additional funding to support your placement year.

There are five £2,000 scholarships available this year.

You could use the scholarship to buy new clothes, travel to and from interviews/placement, or to support any relocation costs.
