Finding a placement
There is a huge range of companies you could work for - from multi-national corporations in public and private sectors to small businesses. We also offer opportunities to work abroad.
Examples of companies where students have done placements include:
| Airbus | IBM |
| Augusta Westland | Leadbitter |
| Avon and Somerset Constabulary | Lidl |
| Bank of England | Intel |
| Borro | Lloyds TSB |
| Ernst & Young | Marks & Spencer |
| Finsbury Food Group | Microsoft |
| Grant Thornton | Rolls Royce |
| GKN Aerospace | Sainsburys |
| Glamorgan Cricket Club | Snap Surveys |
| Glaxo Smithkline | Unilever |
| Hargreaves Lansdown | Welsh Assembly |
| Hewlett Packard | Xerox |
Ultimately, it's your responsibility to find a placement - which of course leaves you in charge of where you work (providing it is relevant to your degree).
