How can Goldsmiths help?
Many of our courses offer work experience placements and we also run regular careers fairs and networking events where you'll be able to meet companies who may be able to offer placements.
Our Careers Service can also help. They have a list of contacts they can put you in touch with, and can also check your CV before you make your application.
My work placement...was a fantastic opportunity that allowed me to bridge the coursework with applicable, transferable skills I was able to foster throughout my time there.
