Recruit a Placement Student
The Careers and Work Placement Office at Queen's Business School expertly connects businesses with specific needs with top-quality students to fill industry placements locally, nationally, and globally.
Working closely with employers throughout the placement process, we provide guidance on application timelines, advertise roles through a dedicated website, collate applications, schedule and facilitate interviews, and much more.

Requirements for Employers
We want to maximise the impact of the internship for both the employer and the student.
- Placements should be relevant for a Business School student, with a relevant job description to allow the student to develop their knowledge and skills
- All placements are paid (no minimum salary stipulated) and insured.
- Employers should assign a named mentor to the placement student, a great opportunity for employers to develop the leadership and management skills of existing junior staff.
Placements are organised through the QBS Careers and Work Placement Office, who have strong relationships with businesses locally, nationally, and globally. Each degree course has a specialist Careers and Work Placement Consultant to support students.
