About this course
Details about course variation options.
UCAS code: CF23
In your professional placement year you will learn to apply the knowledge learnt during your first and second years, improve personal and transferable skills, make new contacts and enhance your employability. Work placements allow you to gain experience of a professional workplace prior to graduating and develop your career focus, and are extremely valued by employers.
On the professional placement between your second and final years, you will gain valuable experience by spending a year working within an organisation appropriate to your degree. We have established collaborations with local, national and international organisations that you can consider when applying for placement positions. Past placement organisations have included Oceanwise, UK Hydrographic Office, and Alfred-Wegener-Institut.
The module convenor provides support while you are researching and applying for positions and you are encouraged to consider a range of organisations, including consultancies, charities, NGOs, research institutes and universities.
The professional placement year counts towards your degree through the completion of your placement and associated coursework. It contributes to your final degree classification, and the words 'with Professional Placement' will appear in your degree title.
If you spend a full year on a work placement (in the UK or abroad) you will pay a reduced fee. Find out more in the fees section.
