In your second year you will build on your management skills and learn about business development.

You have the opportunity to take a paid work placement after your second year and earn yourself a Certificate of Industrial Placement. Boost your confidence and start to climb the industry ladder. Spend a year in placement honing your skills, gaining invaluable experience and making professional contacts.
