MEng placements
The School of Engineering Placement team coordinates the MEng Placements. We maintain strong relationships with our industrial partners and can support you to find a placement by advertising opportunities, organising supporting events, guiding you through the process and providing advice so you can make the most of your experience. The following MEng degree programmes have a 6 month placement option:

School of Engineering Summer Vacation Internships
We fund a minimum of 20 scholarships each year to enable students to work on research or teaching focused projects over the summer and gain relevant work experience here in the School. Five scholarships are allocated to each of the four disciplines: Chemical, Civil, Electronics & Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Applications are open to non-finalist undergraduate students who are at least in the second year of their programme.
Internships
Summer work experiences that are typically more career-related than a casual summer job and are often structured around a project or significant piece of work. They are a great way to test out a career idea and can sometimes lead on to other opportunities. Many companies ask us to share their summer internship vacancies with you, or we can support you to apply speculatively to companies that appeal to you.
