Sales and Operations Planning Coordinator, Johnson and Johnson “after university, although it was fantastic to work for the Volkswagen group in a team of 30 other supply analysts, I knew that I wanted to be passionate about what I’m doing and although I enjoyed my responsibilities - shipping car tools wasn’t for me. I wanted to get meaning in what I do – therefore medical devices supply Chain felt a much better fit. Johnson & Johnson has an amazing attitude towards their customers and everything that J&J do. “so at the end I found my perfect fit – I wanted to have a broad set of responsibilities, to feel accepted and appreciated within a team. To be given a chance to do challenging projects that can make a difference and to work for a company that has strong ‘Credo’ values and a great attitude all across the business. “Taking a work placement is definitely a win-win deal. In exchange for one year of your life you get a really professional experience, fast development opportunities and a clear understanding about many things relevant in the future. “on top of that, you get the opportunity to live in another country, to travel around, learn additional language and meet some really awesome people. “The University’s logistics degree placement gave me the opportunity to work for J&J’s directors which meant working in a highly professional environment, with many responsibilities and a chance to lead projects and teams.

“For one year, J&J not only entrusted me with the duties of operations Coordinator but gave me opportunities to really make a diﬀerence. For example one of the projects led by me saved more than €2m for the company. It was quite a big deal for me as a student to have an opportunity not only to learn but also to prove myself and improve by real business processes. “after my placement year, the ﬁnal year in university felt so much easier because of all the knowledge and experience that I had gained.”

“my career goal is to build a research based career, and I am on the track in achieving that. I would like to give all the credit to the University of Huddersfield which actually helped me in getting access into the UK job market as well as remodelling me to find my feet in a very different work place than my country with confidence. “Huddersfield is a beautiful place and I miss the walks to the Victorian Castle Hill tower that is the landmark of the town. The structure of the town for me was very handy, having the railway station at one end, walking through the town to the campus. “The campus also was exciting with modern structures and I always had good support from my tutors with excellent facilities like the 24-hour library which suited my time for my study.”

“I am from Huddersﬁeld so maybe I am biased but it is a great town with friendly people. during the course of my degree in Communication arts with spanish I got involved in some good projects in local radio and television that inspired me towards a career in sports journalism, as well as getting to spend a year working in oviedo, spain.

Ivana Uličná Programme Coordinator, Pontis Foundation “The quality education provided at the University of Huddersfield has had a very positive impact on my career and I believe it prepared me for real world situations. The lectures, supervisions and the facilities available are all on a very high level. The professionality of the University staff teaches the students how to work and act as professionals themselves. “my Bachelor’s course in Criminology and International Politics seemed quite rare and offered a mixture of disciplines showing us correlations between crime and poverty. With our lecturers and classmates, we spent much time debating, discussing and sharing ideas. This motivated and pushed me to learn a lot on my own. It taught me to think more independently and critically, putting emphasis on ability to analyse, which is crucial for effective international development project management, which I wanted to focus on. “my master’s by research degree allowed me to look into international development in greater depth. It also required me to take responsibility for my own work and improved my ability to plan ahead. moreover, I appreciated the opportunity to develop within a multinational environment, learning about other cultures. I think all of these skills were crucial in securing my dream job in international development and the University was where it all began.”

Anna Chmaro Language and Culture Adviser, UK Trade & Investment “my story started with a placement at the University’s International oﬃce where I was given a chance to put my international skills into practice. during my placement my colleagues almost instantaneously spotted my potential and on behalf of the University made an oﬀer I couldn’t refuse - a place at a master’s course in International Business management. “The course was well-designed providing a very balanced combination of theoretical knowledge and its practical applications. It was delivered to the highest standard and our tutors were always ready to help us with whatever queries we had. I think it was

www.hud.ac.uk

a brilliant chance to consolidate my knowledge and skills and gain more conﬁdence before venturing out to the real business world. “I now work for UK Trade and Investment (UKTI), a government organisation supporting British exporters. UKTI have oﬀered me the best position I could wish for. as Language and Culture adviser I have managed to combine passion with profession, i.e. intercultural encounters and international business. one could say it is a match made in heaven!

“This gave me the opportunity to pursue my early career in Barcelona, which eventually led back to the BBC. I don’t think you fully appreciate the opportunities presented to you whilst at university and how close they are to the real world. The biggest lesson is that you must apply yourself because nobody else will do it for you. as in life, you will only get out what you are prepared to put in.”

Sally Nugent

News Presenter/Journalist, BBC Sport “I received such a warm welcome at the University of Huddersfield when I started my French and Communications arts degree. Huddersfield is a good size and really gave you that feel of a university town. “my time at the University has had an impact on my career and is certainly where it all began. The course seemed unusual and offered a mixture of disciplines including linguistics, French literature and media-relations among other areas. I and some other students spent a year in a French university in the city of Besançon which furthered my studies of French television and culture.” sally has been working for the BBC for over 15 years, starting as a broadcast journalist at her local radio station.

“I have spent 9 years at the University of Huddersﬁeld for both of my degrees and I am lucky to witness the massive transformation that the University went through including new buildings, facilities and services. I had such a great experience at the University, and with the help of the University teaching and support staﬀ, I acquired the skills I needed to allow me to join the industrial world. “aside from my studies, I enjoyed very much the vibrant and friendly atmosphere on campus. I always had

passion for sports and particularly volleyball and the University did not let me down. The University helped me to start the volleyball club where I competed in local leagues and won several trophies. The University also organised events throughout the years such as International sport and Food days. all those sports and social activities gave me the opportunity to meet new students and make friends. “I am now part of the r&d electronics team at dyson. The company recently invested £1.5bn to launch 100 new products and product categories in the next 4 years and I am excited to be part of this challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staﬀ at the University of Huddersﬁeld to help me to achieve my dream and work for a high-tech company.”

“The University provided me with a great quality of education in the Hospitality Business field, which helped me to get a placement in the Usa in year 3. I had an amazing time during the split internship programme, which helped me to achieved two different work experiences by working in platinum golf clubs in Florida and new york. “after I came back from my placement, in the final year the module tutor gave me amazing support for all types of hospitality projects and dissertation, and through that I have learnt new skills by working on various projects. “The course was so helpful and the University tutor prepared me very well in communication, and theory in Hospitality management, which helped to get a graduate job with JW marriott, Indianapolis Usa.”

“my electrical engineering degree proved invaluable for developing my skills because when you start your first job it can often take time before you are given the responsibility to work on the high profile projects. But because of their confidence in the skills I had obtained from my degree here at Huddersfield, from day one, they have had me working on the important assignments, which is great. “I have been involved in certification of Trent XWB eeC which has been installed on Trent XWB engine for airbus a350. The rolls-royce Trent XWB, specifically designed for operation on the airbus a350 XWB family, is the most efficient large civil aerospace engine ever produced. “If you are a non-UK national this can often prove very difficult but with the help of the University's Computing and engineering Placement Unit, in the third year of my Beng degree I took part in a really successful one year work-placement as an industrial engineer where I got hands on experience in my chosen industry. This shows just how successful the University is at helping students get into work during and after their studies. ” www.hud.ac.uk

“I chose International design marketing and Communications as my graduate programme because the programme was the perfect match of what I was looking for which had both design and Communications. The University of Huddersfield was also the only university, which started the programme in January which suited me well. “Before the University of Huddersfield, my background was in graphic design. When I looked for a good university to further my education, the University of Huddersfield was the right decision due to its well-designed programs. They are comprehensive with limited numbers of students. also, the programmes were built for different interests and learning methodologies. “during my time there, the University always provided the students with up to date technologies and learning materials. access to the library was 24 hour with an incredible variety of books and unlimited online courses which were vital for students to complete their assignments.

www.hud.ac.uk

“Within my final year I stayed in touch with Timewise event management and flew out to Canada to help on-site with a major international education summit. Having graduated, I have been offered a full-time position as event Coordinator with Timewise, which I couldn’t refuse. I am passionate about my job and love the team I work with. also, I get the opportunity to live in another country, get to know new cultures, travel and make great connections.

The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I had any questions or concerns. “going to the University of Huddersfield has been a great experience in my life. during my time at the university, I was taught and mentored by knowledgeable and wellrespected professors. Courses were built based on one-to-one models where every student had the valuable time for their university projects. “every class was made of in-class sections, research and group work. after graduation, the knowledge and skills I gained through the university have helped me in many ways with my daily work. “Last but not least, while my previous universities required students to memorise everything, the University of Huddersfield allowed and expected students to explore and think on their own. I heartily recommend the University of Huddersfield to any student looking for a comprehensive yet comfortable graduate educational programme. “

“all this would not have been possible without the well-designed course at the University and the help of the tutors. a balance between practical and theoretical knowledge has prepared me well for the work place and especially the placement programme has opened a lot of opportunities for me. I am equipped with the skills needed to work in industry and having learned a wide range of skills and subjects, I am now able to introduce new ideas to Timewise, help to put improved processes and procedures in place to make a difference and help the company grow. “I am very thankful for the excellent education I have received at the University of Huddersfield, the tutors and the first class facilities such as the library, which have all constituted to me getting the best degree possible.”

This helped me to understand how different businesses operate and also allowed me to learn a wide range of skills that I may not normally had the chance to. “among my many numerous tasks was business administration, conference bookings, travel arranging, events management, exporting, logistics and writing plans. “In addition I was working with international companies which gave me a real insight and understanding of the importance of a relationship between the logistics sector and events management. I also began to understand how different consumer behaviour operates around the world.

“The biggest beneﬁt of one year work placement is the impregnable lead you get at the time of graduation over those who don’t do placement. The experience you get by doing a placement is unmatchable, as a student you wouldn’t realise what huge impact it makes on you when coming back to ﬁnal year and afterwards. It’s not only making you more marketable after graduation, it also helps you in getting the right approach towards study. For me it has unlocked so many mysteries about industry that used to tangle in my mind.

“Being apart of a team was also a learning experience for me. you gain such skills as how to manage people, gain discipline, time management and general teamwork.

“It has shown from this year that cramming books, reading theories and getting straight a’s in modules wouldn’t alone assure you success in life. you still need to work hard and succeed within a manufacturing and engineering environment.

“I also found that my english language skills improved and I developed my international communication skills.”

“From having a placement within such a large and global organisation, I think that I have had an invaluable manufacturing and engineering linked experience at the company. not only have I learnt the ins and outs of the car manufacturing industry, I have had the insight of working with people from all diﬀerent departments such as manufacturing engineering (m.e.), supply Chain, World Facilities group (WFg), Quality assurance (Q.a.), Human resources (H.r.) etc. and seen how they work with each other.”

“The University of Huddersfield has a strong focus on encouraging their students to take a placement year and helps them throughout the entire application process. I have been encouraged during my first year by the lecturers to create my own online portfolio and to make sure it will represent my personal brand. after attending a couple of presentations from Huddersfield students that were on placement or just completed a year in industry, I fully understood the advantages it would have on my future career plan.

“I felt no pressure at the beginning to do things perfectly and they have encouraged me all the way to learn the processes and achieve the tasks I had to complete. It is a great environment to learn, as everybody is there to support you as an intern and help you grow. another aspect I enjoyed in particular is the fact that as an international student, I had the opportunity to work in a very diverse and multi-cultural environment. developers in the London oﬃce came from all around the world, so I have learned a lot from their backgrounds and experiences.

“during my placement year I have learned more that I could imagine about the technology industry. an internship at microsoft is an incredible opportunity for any student, as it oﬀers you innumerable ways to develop your skills, as well as your network. I have been given real development responsibilities starting with my ﬁrst month, just like all the other engineers in my team.

“In regards to my future career plans, this placement opportunity at microsoft has definitely made me feel much more confident. I know exactly now how the industry works, I have had practical work experience with the agile and test methodologies used in the software industry, that are invaluable for any informatics graduate. I feel extremely confident in my opportunities after graduation and I cannot emphasise enough how useful a placement year was as part of my undergraduate degree.”

This one-year placement allowed me to gain ﬁrst hand experience and develop my own teamwork and interpersonal skills. I may say that regardless of how much you think you know about the chosen career, you will never be really clued up on what a job entails until you have been working practically in that role.” www.hud.ac.uk

“From my perspective, a work placement is a great opportunity for students to get involved in real life experience beyond university classrooms. However, what is more important is ﬁnding an internship that will make one year of your life unforgettable. “spending 13 months with world’s largest IT giant in the middle of its turnaround has been an astonishing experience.

I was convinced that it would prepare me for my future career and help me to achieve higher grades in my last year. “during my placement I improved a lot of key skills, such as communication, problem solving, analytical thinking, time management, etc. I had the opportunity to put in practice some of the knowledge I was taught at the University. “Working at HP I had the opportunity to meet people from different organisations and understand how different parts of the business works. This helped me to understand in which field I want to work after university.”

“I wanted a university that wasn’t pigeon holed to a certain area and Huddersfield also offered the opportunity of a placement year as part of the course which was important to me. “my placement year has been an amazing and very worthwhile experience. I have gained vital and essential knowledge, including making the necessary contacts to increase my job prospects when I graduate. I had several placements during my placement year, my favourite being at Jimmy Choo as a Pr Intern. I worked exclusively with the global Pr officer on all global sample requests, sample trafficking, working various events including press days. It was the nature of the internship that made it my favourite as I worked at numerous events. I was able to develop great relationships with my colleagues whilst at Jimmy Choo. “I was a Production assistant for the company Fashion scout at London Fashion Week which involved dealing with all aspects of backstage work for fashion shows such as dealing with designers, Pr teams, models, hair and make up crew. “at moschino I was employed as a Pr Intern and this role allowed me to get involved in the handling of all samples trafficking in and out of the press office, holding appointments with stylists, liaising with international offices and press/publications, organising the showroom, working press days and London Fashion Week.

“Whilst working at Harper’s Bazaar for their Fashion Cupboard I was responsible for all samples in and out of the cupboard, assisting on shoots, calling in samples and working on credits for issues.”

“I decided to take a placement year as I considered that it will develop and prepare me for my future career. after talking with some of my academics Business school, I realised that the placement year will help me to gain skills such as the ability to work in a team. These interpersonal skills are very important for my future job, and employers usually look for individuals who are very well prepared. “In addition, I believe that it’s good to take a placement year as it will give you the practical experience in the industry you wish to work in. you can never know exactly in what environment you want to work until you have been practically in that role. “This placement year gave me the opportunity to change and mature as an individual and as a future employee. I have an amazing supervisor, who helped me to become a better person. I learned how to be more patient, how to prioritise my tasks and manage my time properly. “Furthermore, I am strongly convinced that this year was one of the best ones from my university life. I met a lot of new people, with different characters and backgrounds. during this year, I worked in the office but I had the opportunity to organise events as well. “I learned how to behave in a professional environment, where I am not considered to be a student anymore. I had to take initiative, solve my daily tasks and act maturely. In my opinion, those students who decide to take a placement year will be better prepared and developed for the real work environment. This experience can help you to obtain better grades in your final year as you will have the practical background and are able to see things differently now.”

When I decided to work for myself and establish a proper company I was criticised by some experts due to little experience at the field and lack of financial stability. I agree it is very scary to start your own company; you make mistakes and run crazy sometimes. But it is such a great feeling when you see your clients with happy faces using bespoke products and interior spaces which are results of combined creativity and clients wishes. “For those who wish to run their own businesses I would suggest to gain some experience from the best companies in the market, even for free as you are investing in yourself. do not stay for long time, try to learn as much as you can and find a perfect time to leave and start at your own.
