This module comprises of the two placements for the BSc Business Management with Marketing Year in Industry.
Students take two separate placements and will be assessed at the end of each placement.
This module allows students to put into practice their theoretical knowledge gained during their academic study.
To meet local educational requirements students will take:
• Placement 1 during the summer vacation at the end of year 1 (minimum 3 months)

We are also able to offer students the opportunity to take their second placement in the UK. The University of Birmingham has initial approval from the Home Office to allow students to take placement 2 in the UK provided they study their year two at the home campus.
