Placements create a mutually beneficial partnership between business and student, by broadening students understanding of job opportunities, and helping to create the work-ready graduates of future workforce. In today’s highly competitive labor market and a growing demand among employers for practical skills make work placements an invaluable part of a postgraduate degree.
To meet this growing demand for practical skills, the University of Greenwich has launched ten two-year courses in engineering and science that combine academic study on campus with a year of industrial practice.
