Work Placements

Providing the experience you need, and the skills employers want

Strong business partnerships and the university’s cutting-edge applied research activities help to ensure that our academic courses are developed and delivered in line with the needs of industry. These business links are also vital in ensuring students gain the best possible work placements during their degree programmes, where relevant.

Work placements not only provide valuable on-the-job experience, but also help you make industry contacts, build your CV and earn work references. Caledonian has a reputation for maintaining strong links with industry, which helps when it comes to placing students in companies.

The campus itself is geared towards providing students with real-life practical experience through facilities such as the Eye Clinic, Virtual Hospital, Broadcasting Suite and Fashion Factory.
