University Work Placements
Many university courses provide given the option of some kind of professional work placement, which might be an incentive (or disincentive) to take up that course.
These placements can take various different forms, the two most common being:
- A one full-year placement, most often between the 3rd and 4th semester or second and third year
And,
- Two 6 month placements one in the 2nd year and one in the 3rd year.
If you have never worked in the field that you wish to become qualified in by returning to university, a course with a work placement is an invaluable way of introducing yourself to that sort of work and will also look good on your CV when you come to apply for the sorts of job you want after graduation.
Professional work placements offer the added benefit of giving you a break from full time studying, which can get rather monotonous after a while. You could return from your work placement having had an interesting break that has provided you with new perspective and momentum to finish your studies.
There are even courses with work placements in other countries, giving an opportunity to see a bit more of the world and potentially even to learn another language if you want – always a bonus in our globalising world!
One very important thing you should check in advance of applying for a course with a work placement is age limits. Although not always the case with university courses that have implicit work placements, some work placements are open to people only up to certain ages – so you should be sure to get any potential restrictions spelled out in advance.
