Overview

Organisations are constantly having to reinvent themselves, by evolving the way they operate, in a challenging economic environment.

This means graduates with the ability to put economic theory into practice, and with knowledge of modern management practices, are in high demand.

In the BScEcon Economics and Management Studies with a Professional Placement Year at Cardiff University you’ll develop economics and management expertise from our team of international researchers and business practitioners.

Your Professional Placement Year is an opportunity to put your university knowhow into practice as you take up a paid accounting or management role and complement your academic study with exposure to real-world business scenarios.

Career prospects

Our track record speaks for itself. 97% of our students are in employment and/or further study within six months of graduating.

Our dedicated career professionals have got you covered on things like industry placements, internships, work experience and insights.

You’ll benefit from career consultations, interview and CV writing workshops, industry-specific events and specialist psychometric assessment and broad skills training.

Placements

Students are responsible for finding their own placements, though support will be given by the School’s employability team. Students unable to secure a suitable placement will be permitted to transfer to the equivalent ‘non-placement’ programme, assuming the relevant academic requirements are met. Placements can be conducted in English or in Welsh.
