Undergraduates FAQ's

What programmes do you offer?

We offer 12 month industrial placement and 3 month summer placements within Product Development Engineering.

How many students are there on the programmes?

We have not determined a split of 3 and 12 month placements, but we are looking for around 20 students in total.

What are the locations for the programmes?

The programmes will be located in either Gaydon (Warwickshire), or Whitley (Coventry).

Can I defer a year?

Unfortunately, we can only offer placements to students ready to take on the position that year.

How will my performance be assessed?

During a 3 month placement, you will have a performance appraisal with your supervisor twice during that time, and be asked, and the end of your placement, to give a presentation to some Engineering manager's on the work completed during your time with us. This presentation is also assessed. It is a similar process for 12 month placement students, but the appraisals are carried out at 6 months and towards the end of the placement.

If your performance appraisals and presentation are well delivered, then you could be offered the opportunity to return for a further placement the following summer.
