There's no doubt that a placement year enhances career prospects – it's why Aston University graduates rank among the UK's most employable. That's why we urge all students to undertake one. The placement allows you to apply academic knowledge, acquire hands-on experience, and build both specialized and adaptable skills.
For BSc (Hons) Economics and Management students, the placement year is mandatory. While international students may apply for exemption, we highly advise completing it whenever feasible.
