Portsmouth Business School
The Role
of the Placements Office
The
Placements Office does not act as a recruitment or matching agency. Students must apply themselves to any of the advertised vacancies they are
interested in and follow each companies own recruitment process. However, the
experienced team is always on hand to offer advice on everything from how to
produce good quality applications through to what students can expect on a
company assessment day.
Every year we
advertise a huge variety of business related work placements to Portsmouth
Business School students through the use of our online learning environment Victory
in addition to our physical notice boards here in the Business School (Richmond Building). We are
always on the lookout for new placement opportunities and would encourage any
interested companies to first read through our employers section of our website
and then contact the Placements Office.
We start advertising placement vacancies at the beginning of each academic year (October) and continue to advertise vacancies right up until the end of August. However, the peak time for closing dates is just after the New Year, with around 50% of the total yearly placement vacancies closing during January and February. As a result it is no surprise that the number one piece of advice given by current placement students to perspective placement students is to apply early.
