As an Economics student, you have the option to spend a year on a salaried professional placement between your second and final years of study.

This gives you the chance to ‘test drive’ a career and build valuable work experience in a real job with real challenges and responsibilities. Satisfactory completion of your placement year results in a Diploma in Professional Studies (DPS) in addition to your degree.

How does it workYou have the option to do any of the following:• One year on placement (can be up to three placements)• Six months on placement and six months

studying abroad

It is also possible to do a self-employed placement as part of our ‘Year in Enterprise’ scheme.

What might I do on placement?We expect students to be given a salaried professional role with all the challenges and responsibilities of a real job. Very often placement students are treated like graduate employees and become important members of the team.

Sometimes students are part of a project team working on a specific business problem, or they may be responsible for providing regular reports which are an integral part of a team’s operations. They may even be responsible for the duties of other people within a team. Always, we would expect our students to be appropriately challenged and developed. For some students this may involve undertaking elements of their company’s graduate training scheme.

The placement yearHow do I get a placement?Although it will be your responsibility to find your own placement, we offer exceptional help and support. Our dedicated Placements Office is in contact with more than 2000 corporate organisations and will support and assist you in finding the right placement for you. Most placements are in the UK but it is possible to spend the placement year abroad.

We have a long history of placing students with big name companies like 3M, IBM, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, PwC, Waitrose and Walt Disney, to name a few. The Placements Office not only supports you throughout the process with vacancy alerts, and our annual intensive 2-day Employer Speed Presentation event on campus, but they will also help you prepare for interviews, assessment centres, and for the placement itself.

Key benefits of a professional placement• Improved job prospects. According to recent research*,

over a third of the Top 100 graduate employers would not even consider offering a position on one of their graduate programmes to a graduate without work experience – regardless of their academic achievements and qualifications. Your placement year gives you a cutting edge in a very competitive job market.

• Test-drive a career. You will develop your understanding of business and be able to focus more clearly on fine-tuning your final year module choices to suit your career aspirations.

• Professional responsibility. A year on placement gives you the opportunity to put theory into practice, develop leadership, communication and teamwork skills, and even take on managerial responsibilities.

• Personal development. Every year our finalists return more confident, mature in outlook and focussed on their career objectives.

• Improved Performance. We consistently see that students who did a placement achieve improved grades in their final year.

• Potential job offer. Typically around 1/3rd of placement students are offered a job by their placement employer.

Many of our Economics students take the opportunity to expand their horizons and enhance their employability by studying at one of our partner universities around the world between their second and final years of study.

A global outlookIn our rapidly changing global environment, employers place a high value on strong intercultural skills in the workplace. We want all our students to gain the skills and competencies needed to flourish as global leaders and global citizens in the 21st century.

We work hard to ensure an ever-increasing international dimension to what you are taught on our courses, to provide you with a wider world view of your subject in a global context. All third-year undergraduate students have the opportunity to spend a semester or a full academic year abroad at one of our partner institutions around the world.

How does it work?Instead of doing a one-year professional placement, you can choose to do any of the following:• one year study abroad (either at one partner university for twelve months or study at two

different partner universities for six months each);• six months study abroad and six months placement (in the UK or abroad).

What are the benefits of studying abroad?A period of study or work abroad is an exciting and challenging opportunity to:• Stand out to employers• Gain international experience and broaden your horizons• Grow in confidence and develop intercultural skills• Discover and immerse yourself in a new culture• Improve your language skills

Successful completion of a year abroad or six months on placement and six months studying abroad results in a Diploma in International Studies (DIntS) in addition to your degree.

Summer schoolsFor students unable to spend a whole semester or year abroad, there is an increasing number of short, intensive summer schools available at a number of leading overseas institutions.

SupportOur dedicated International Relations Office supports you through all aspects of your study abroad journey, from finding out about available opportunities to securing a place at a partner university right through to planning your visit. Find out more at www.lboro.ac.uk/sbe/studyingabroad

Do I need foreign language skills?This is not essential as our partners teach in English. However, it is a great opportunity to improve your foreign language skills; you can take language courses during your studies abroad and you can also take extracurricular language classes at Loughborough before you go.

—“The thing that I will treasure most about my time at Loughborough is the amount of time my lecturers were willing to spend outside

lectures to support and encourage me to explore independent trains of thought.

My placement working in tax consultancy in Zurich, Switzerland gave me the chance to dip my feet into something which I do not want to pursue

on graduating but which interested me.Your degree is what you make it; be interested,

ask questions, read widely and get involved in as much as possible!”

This flexible course allows you to specialise in the final year by choosing optional modules that are most suited to your career aspirations.

About the course In the first two years you will develop a thorough understanding of the latest developments in economic analysis and policy application.

It is in the final year that students enjoy the maximum choice and flexibility. The final year consists of modules in advanced macroeconomics, microeconomics and applied econometrics. Alongside these, you choose options from within general areas of study such as international trade, money and finance, industrial economics and a wide range of specialised areas of applied economics such as the economics of developing countries and environmental economics. Extended four-year degree You can choose to extend your degree and boost your employability by opting to study abroad or by taking a salaried professional placement between the second and final year of your degree.
