Our students and graduates undertake a major role in the management and maintenance of construction and property. Find out what the following property management companies have to say about the calibre of our placement students.

"Placement students generally arrive with huge amounts of enthusiasm and are keen to put the theory gained in the first two years of their degree into good practice. We provide them with the platform to do this and the opportunity to impress. Often the opportunity results in employment upon graduation where possible. The relationship works well for both the student and employer in our experience."

Jonathan Fothergill, Head of Investments, Knight Frank, Prague

"We offer students practical experience under the guidance of a senior professional on a varied and diverse range of projects, giving a thorough grounding in their field, as well as sponsorship and employment opportunities for outstanding graduates."

Lorena Walpole, Placement Coordinator, Baily Garner

"The year in industry is very beneficial for the student and for the employer. For the student, the experience and market exposure in the right company is the perfect start to a career in the surveying profession. For the employer, good placement students become good graduate surveyors who we are always keen to employ."

Graham Fawcett, Associate Director, Churston Heard

"At DTZ Prague office, we have been having NTU sandwich students for a number of years now, and we maintain friendly relationships with many of them.

"The best students have been offered job opportunities with DTZ and two of them are currently employed with DTZ in UK. Two others have positions with DTZ clients (developers and property investors) in the CEE region.

"It's a good way to recruit talent from the employer's point of view."

Placements are also a good way to "gain international experience and broaden horizons from student's perspective."
