After university, I was offered a job back at the company where I undertook my placement - Opus 2 International. Now, a year on - I have gone from being a placement student to being the Project Manager for all our Client Cases in the APAC Region. I feel that with my placement, my career certainly received a jump start.

Economics and Accounting Students Monitor Real-Time Financial Data
Economics and Accounting students can monitor and analyse real-time financial data in our Bloomberg Suite.
[We recognise the skills students learn on this software]
[Meet Adam - our Principal Lecturer in Economics and Finance]
A Bloomberg terminal is something that is used by professional economists, often in a finance-related role, and it shows live prices of things like equity shares or stocks or currency fluctuations.
[The Bloomberg Suite has 20 PCs running Bloomberg and SDC Platinum software]
As a university we have access to this, just slightly delayed so we can’t actually gamble any money on it, but it shows students the real world application - what is going on right this second - and we can use this data to directly add some value on to the theory that we teach so we can find out information about stocks and shares, about businesses, but also trades and commodities.
[Students can become Bloomberg certified]
This is a real benefit for students when they graduate. Mainly because they’re able to see economics live, in-action, now. But also the job that the students might be going to might actually be using some of this software, so they’re already familiar and they will have already the Bloomberg certificate to show that.
