Student Placements

A sandwich course includes a 48-week placement and is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in the industry sector of your choice. 

This combination of a qualification and experience shows prospective employers that you not only have an in-depth understanding of their industry but also the practical skills they need.

Our dedicated Placement Office has been running a student placement programme for 20 years and has an extensive network of contacts in the Tourism sector in the UK, Europe and overseas. 

Every year, hundreds of students work for a wide variety of employers, from small or medium-sized enterprises to global corporations.  They leave Leeds Met for their sandwich year as students and return to continue their studies as professionals.
