We are keen to ensure all our聽students are highly employable and want聽to give聽them the opportunity to engage with their future employers in the marketplace.聽Our strategy is to increase the employability of our students by constantly modernising the curriculum, developing close partnerships with tourism and hospitality organisations, and by encouraging students to get industry engagement before, during and after their time at university, including through a year-long work placement that is available for聽all undergraduate and postgraduate students. Please support the following initiatives.
Student placements聽
Student placements are a flexible and cost-effective way of bringing fresh, new talent into your organisation. Our students are motivated, eager to learn and bring the latest knowledge and skills to your business. At 成人直播, our undergraduate and postgraduate student placement scheme is so popular with employers that we have more students on placement than any university in England. Many of our postgraduate students are international and have specific language and cultural skills that will contribute to the global agenda of any organisation. Students are typically available on a fixed-term appointment between 10 and 15 months, but shorter options are also available. Students are paid around 拢15k depending on their聽duties and location. Placements are arranged by BU鈥檚 dedicated Placements and Careers team, who support both employers and students throughout the process. This support service is free to employers. .
Casual and seasonal staff and graduate recruitment
Many local聽tourism and hospitality organisations benefit from聽employing our students on a casual and seasonal basis. We help our partner organisations connect with our students, giving you access to well-educated staff. Many of our students who have worked in casual or seasonal employment聽then do placements, consultancy projects and graduate jobs with you. Our graduates possess some of the best minds and skills when they聽leave聽university, so if you want聽to recruit the best talent you can take advantage of our聽recruitment programmes and free advertising to聽聽in the university or at one of our .

Familiarisation trips
We are also keen for our students to experience the operations of tourism and hospitality organisations through familiarisation trips. This is a great opportunity to showcase your organisation, benefit from word of mouth through social media engagement, and create awareness. Many of the familiarisation trips are linked to exercises and assessments that form part of our students' courses,聽enabling you to get fresh ideas through the eyes of future professionals.
聽Student consultancy projects
Part of our curriculum involves聽student consultancy projects, where our students work with an organisation that sets them a challenging task. The unit is an exciting opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability to problem solve聽through investigation, understanding and the application of knowledge. Students present a fresh perspective to business problems enabling them to identify solutions and make proposals that most satisfy a corporate client鈥檚 needs and circumstances. This unit is a rare opportunity to tap into tomorrow鈥檚 talent. 聽
Industry masterclasses - showcase your organisation
We offer numerous opportunities for organisations to engage directly with our students through a programme of industry masterclasses, guest speakers, class discussions and bespoke workshops. The aim of theses sessions is for you to聽give聽an insight into your聽business and engage聽in dialogue for future innovation. We are keen to develop further opportunities to engage with industry聽to play our part in developing this聽crucial talent pipeline.聽聽聽聽 聽
CPD for your employees
We have recently engaged with a number of local and international organisations by delivering continuing professional development (CPD) programmes. This initiative has been very successful in not only supporting the development of key employees, but also interrogating business challenges and proposing valid solutions. We have a keen and experienced team of academics who can support your business needs either through a taught programme or a number of facilitated workshops.聽聽聽 聽
