Overview

You’ll also have the opportunity to do a year-long, paid work placement as part of your degree.

Our Biology with Placement Year students from University of Sheffield have found placements in industry, charities or government at organisations that include GSK, Pfizer, the Institute for Cancer Research, Microsoft Business Unit, West Yorkshire Police, the Environment Agency and the Field Studies Council.

Key Features

You could even apply your scientific knowledge and transferable skills to areas outside the bioscience industry - for example market research, communications or business development.

A placement is a great opportunity to test out a career path and many students are offered a graduate-level job at the end. You'll pay reduced fees for the year you're on placement and you'll have the support you need from your tutor and the University.
