12 MONTH INDUSTRIAL PLACEMENTS

In just one year you could help develop a submarine that weighs 7,400 tonnes, can dive down to 200 metres and won’t ever need re-fuelling. Or a 60ft bridge that takes three minutes to build and can carry a tank over ten different rivers in just one day. A plane that can fly at supersonic speeds, land vertically and not show up on radar. Or a state-of-the-art GPS, 18 wheels and caterpillar tracks, which also has the technology to help soldiers survive on the front line.

In fact, who knows what you’ll achieve. This is where true performance begins. We have a range of undergraduate placements at various sites around the UK.

Any of them will see you develop new skills and gain valuable industry experience.
