"My politics placement was my first introduction to the employment sector within my degree. I found this experience to be extremely valuable as it illustrated my skillset strengths and weaknesses that have ultimately prepared me for post-uni employment. I think this experience is crucial for a CV that stands out as well as a unique insight on what you can do with your degree if you may be unsure. In short, if you’d like a module that enables you to practice some independence and learn more about yourself, I would strongly recommend applying for the placement module!"

"My placement was held at The Key where I took part in research to help them provide up-to-date and relevant experience for all young people involved in their projects. I learnt new skills I had never previously experienced as well as gaining first-hand knowledge with facilitators, young people and different departments within The Key, helping me to expand my knowledge of the non-commercial sector as a whole. I thoroughly enjoyed my placement although admittedly I was apprehensive to first involve myself, but putting myself out of my comfort zone really helped me gain further knowledge into the working world and expand my experiences."
