Industrial Placements
At least 60 companies, including most of the major chemical companies in the UK employ our sandwich students. The work is for 12 months and is paid generously (salaries in the region of £12 - £15 per year).
We have recently placed students with some of the largest firms in the country including:
- Arjowiggins
- AstraZeneca
- Avecia Inkjet Ltd
- Aventis Pharma Uk
- Baker Petrolite
- ClariantColgate Palmolive
- Croda Chemicals
- DBI Industrial Services
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Innovia Films
- Intertek
- Kellogg
- Pilkington
- Reaxa
- Reckitt Benckiser
- William Blythe Limited
We have a Placement Tutor, whose responsibilities are to act as facilitator between students and potential employers, and to provide pastoral care during placements. You will have frequent contact with the Placement Tutor while applying for jobs, and you will be visited by him or another member of the academic staff at least twice during your year in industry, to provide advice, support and assessment.
