Guidance & Support on Applying for Placements

Most placements within large organisations will have specific timelines for applications so it’s good to be aware of them so you can prepare and/or apply for them. 

Most placement schemes in large organisations including those in Investment Banking, Finance, Civil Service and Consultancy can open as early as July/August before you return to university for your second year.  

For smaller organisations (i.e. SMEs, start-ups), their application processes will generally be on a rolling basis and tend to open at various points across the academic year.  

The application processes will also be less rigid and structured compared to larger placement schemes and they generally recruit internships/placements at different points throughout the year, or whenever the requirement for a placement student is identified.
