Leeds Met, UK – Connecting You with Employers

Benefit from partnerships with first-class employers offered at Leeds Metropolitan.

A degree isn't just about looking good on paper. It's also about having the practical knowledge and professional skills that can be valuable to employers. Nothing’s more appealing to an employer than someone with professional experience.

We’ve built close relationships with a wide range of employers who are able to offer work experience or internships. These local, national, and global employers are keen to benefit from our pool of talented students and graduates.

Many of our courses offer a sandwich option which provides up to one year's employment experience. Choosing the sandwich route can help with your academic work and with getting a job after graduation. We’ll help you find your work placement and you can even work overseas if you’re keen to spread your wings.
