Our Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying students can undertake industrial training. Most placements are fully salaried, with typical pro rata salaries from £17,000 to £22,000.

To help secure a placement, our students can liaise with members of the Loughborough Construction Consortium, a network of construction companies that offer sponsorship, work placements, graduate roles and practical experience.

Your placement year will give you a clearer understanding of the construction industry to help with the later stages of your studies and to direct your future career.

Our dedicated staff will support you throughout the process and support you to find a placement that matches your strengths and career ambitions.
