Sandwich placement year
In your third year, you'll have the opportunity to take a year-long, full-time placement. This will give you real, hands-on experience and open up exciting opportunities for your future employment. Many students return to their placement company after graduation.
Recent placement destinations have included AXA, Gerald Eve LLP, Lambert Smith Hampton, Cushman & Wakefield, JLL and Savills, and more. The majority of these roles come with a salary, with some students earning up to £20,000 for their year. Roles have included planner, assistant surveyor, assistant commercial surveyor, sales consultant in land and investment, and many more.
The majority of companies are RICS-accredited, which means the year counts towards your RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and becoming a Chartered Surveyor.
Study abroad
If you're studying on our sandwich route you can also opt to study abroad for a full academic year, or for a semester, during Year Three. This is an optional and additional period of study that complements your degree at NTU as an alternative to taking a work placement.
This is an exciting opportunity to experience a different national culture, teaching and learning styles and subjects in an international environment. The destination university must be a year abroad / exchange partner of NTU or member of a formally recognised scheme such as the International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP).
Our NTU Global and student mobility team will support you in finding the right opportunity from one of the many international partners available around the world.
Successful completion of a period of international study will earn you a standalone award – an International Study Certificate (minimum six weeks) or the International Study Diploma (minimum 36 weeks).
