Placement year

Many of our students choose to do an optional placement year after the second year of study. Previous students have worked with gaming and tech companies such as Sega, IBM, and Climax.
If you're interested in running your own business on your placement year instead, you can. Along with fellow, like-minded students, you can create a gaming product and release it into the market.
Whether you do a placement or set up a business, you'll receive support and guidance. You'll have access to Creative Careers, a team based in the faculty helping students to find placement opportunities within the creative industries. They'll provide you with a database of placement vacancies, support with your job search – including help with applications and interviews – and support throughout your placement year.
