Placement events

UWE Bristol's Placements team are ready to help you prepare for your sandwich placement year. 

You can book yourself into one of our Kick start your placement journey events, which take place during term time from October to April. Get help with everything you need to know about placements, including the benefits, eligibility criteria, where to start looking, and the placement approval process.

You can also attend a Careers Quick Query drop-in to ask your placement questions in person. No appointment is necessary, just turn up to chat to one of our friendly team.
