Work Placements
Work-based and placement learning collaborations between students, organisations and employers across the UK delivered through our Work Placement module.
At the University of Chester, we have been pioneering work placements for over 20 years, building strong connections with employers and industry leaders to offer our students exceptional opportunities. Every undergraduate course is designed to prepare students for a thriving career after graduation.
Our Work Placement modules provide students with the unique opportunity to gain real-world, supervised experience through structured opportunities with an external organisation or employer. Work Placement opportunities enable students to undertake university-level work and to apply and integrate areas of subject and/or professional knowledge, skills and behaviours to meet course learning outcomes.
A Work Placement offers students a structured placement experience that develops employability skills, industry awareness and professional skills and competencies. Students can apply and develop knowledge within a real-world environment.
Why Work Placements?
Work Placements are a key part of our university’s commitment to preparing students for the real world. Our credit-bearing placements provide valuable hands-on experience for students while offering employers access to fresh talent and innovative ideas.
Whether you're a student looking to enhance your career prospects or an employer seeking new talent, our work-placement program is designed to create meaningful opportunities for both.
