What our current placement students say "The main thing the Bupa placement programme has meant to me personally is that it has given me a really positive first insight into the world of work on a wider basis and a fantastic opportunity to engage with high level people who are both very easy and willing to engage with me.
The opportunities to explore multiple potential career avenues through the programme have been great and I have learnt a whole number of technical skills, but more importantly it has introduced me to some great people and I have developed my interpersonal skills massively, particularly in the professional context.
The support that I have received from my manager, team members and the HR team has been really good." Rory, University of Lancaster Student.
