A placement agreement (convention de stage, Praktikumsvereinbarung, accordo di tirocinio, acuerdo de prácticas) confirms that the placement is approved by you as a part of a student’s curriculum. It states the job description and dates of the placement and is signed by you, the undergraduate and the host business. The student remains enrolled in your institution for the whole duration of the placement.

We offer you an easy, secure and free way to internationalisation! Your students will not only gain valuable work experience but enhance their English language skills and learn about the British culture.

Make sure your students know we are here to help them by advising them to visit our web site and placing the offers on notice boards and intranet sites.

All placements are open to any EU undergraduate, or graduate studying for a further degree, with a valid EU passport. Non-EU citizens studying in a EU institution can apply only if their student visa permits them to undertake a placement or internship in the UK as part of studies.
