What is the difference between a placement and an internship?

Taking a placement or internship is an opportunity to gain work experience relevant to your programme of study. An internship is for a period of 5+ days. Often these are taken for 6-12 weeks over the summer. Sandwich placements take place between the 2nd and final year of study, for a duration of 9 to 12 months. For more information, visit our website.
