Work-based learning and placements

When it comes to preparing you for the working environment, a work placement is invaluable, either as a part of your course or in your spare time.

Benefits of work placement

• Use your academic skills in the real workplace
• Learn what you need to improve while you are still at University
• Make contacts that could be useful in the future
• Find out what you do, and don't, want to do before you begin your career
• Boost your confidence
• Improve your CV
• Help with your coursework and exams

Work placements are a key part of many courses at the University of Bradford, but even if your course does not include an integrated period of work, the University will still help you if you would like to do one.
