How do I find out about placements?

So where to start?  ... You need to choose and secure your own placement. We in the YIB School of Management Placement team are here to provide advice and support at each stage of the application process.

So where should you look?

> The Moodle page on the Royal Holloway website has a link to a list of Approved Placements taken from Jobsonline - the University of London Careers Group Jobs website internship list.

Additionally you can look on the following sites for placement opportunities though you should check with a member of the Placement team if they meet the College's YIB requirements before signing any contracts.
