Work Experience
We believe that by combining academic and practical development,
you will realise your full potential as an EBS London
student.
All students on the BA (Hons) degrees are required
to complete a minimum of 36 weeks of work
experience throughout the duration of the courses. This
total is usually divided into blocks of time between the academic
semesters, and work placements can be carried out all over the
world, and in more than one language.
We maintain an extensive database of key employers
worldwide - allowing you a diverse choice in
your selection of work placements. Our Careers
and Business Relations centre is on hand to assist you
throughout the whole process.
Working in real business situations before you graduate means
that you are able to explore career options, test theoretical
know-how, and learn the cultural conventions and sensitivities
unique to each country's business practices.
It allows you to develop your linguistic skills
in a real-life context, while building a valuable
network of contacts in a number of key
organisations within your target career markets.
Our graduates enter the employment market with a proven track
record of commitment and achievement in their work placements, and
a sound knowledge of how to put their skills to practical use. In
many cases they have so impressed their host companies during the
work placements, that they already have several job offers prior to
graduation.
The pace is demanding and the challenges are real, but the
rewards in terms of personal fulfilment and career opportunities
are substantial. EBS London graduates are highly sought-after, and
we have a consistently high graduate employment rate each
year.
