Connections with Practice
At CUBS UCC we have a long-standing practice of integrated placement as part of both our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
We believe in the value of early integration with industry and work placement gives you a chance to apply your programme knowledge in the real world, an immersive learning and working experience. A chance to start your career journey, work placement enables you to engage with business and leading employers, locally, nationally and internationally.
When
For undergraduate students work placement is typically six to nine months duration will generally take place in year three of your programme.
At postgraduate level work placement is typically shorter in duration, generally no more than three months and will take place during the programme year.
Visit our programme pages for specific details of work placements for each.
