Self Sourcing Your Placement/Project

All students can source their own placements for industry or research projects.

Self-sourcing a project is a great way to find a placement that aligns with your interests. You can also utilise any existing industry connections you may have.

For example, you might also already be working in a discipline-related field and would like to continue working there for the duration of your placement. 

Many students source their own placements every semester. If this is of interest to you, follow our step-by-step guide to help secure your placement and be on your way to enhancing your employability skills and capabilities
