An internship or placement is a great way to find out about an organisation and whether you'd like to work there (or not!). Internships are short periods of professional experience, for example during the summer. In contrast, a placement may form part of your course and could be anything from a few weeks to a year.

Many major graduate recruiters use summer internships and placements targeted at penultimate-year students as part of their graduate recruitment.
