Work Placement

Students without at least 3 years of experience in a (semi) managerial function within an internationally orientated company or organisation must complete the work placement component of the programme. Postgraduate students are placed in European companies as Junior Trainee Consultants, and are expected to carry out duties that involve them in consultancy tasks for that company, in one or more of the areas the Postgraduate modules cover. Work placement is arranged by Wittenborg’s office of External Relations, and students will be paid a traineeship fee. Work placement can start as soon as the programme starts, and as soon as students can be linked to companies. Wittenborg arranges all necessary work permits and contracts with the company. Work placement is completed with a reflective report, linked to the PDP module.
