Benefits of an industry placement “One benefit of completing a sandwich placement is being able to experience your degree in action and put into practice the knowledge obtained whilst studying. I know when I return to university I will have a greater depth of understanding about my course and the placement could even lead to an early offer on the Graduate Programme.” “As a sandwich placement student on the rural pathway, no one day is the same, you will receive the same exposure as a Graduate. In a typical day, a sandwich placement student could be gaining experience walking boundaries and inspecting properties, collating comparable evidence for valuations, dealing with residential, commercial or agricultural landlord and tenant issues, carrying out compulsory purchase advice or negotiating terms for access agreements and easements. The breadth of experience that Savills Placement Students obtain is second to none.” How you’ll make an impact High attention to detail, well organised and a proactive approach Ability to empower those around them Strong verbal, numerical and report writing skills A team player with leadership potential Ability to Listen to others and Collaborate effectively Strategic approach to problem solving Highly motivated Ability to challenge in a positive way Computer literate Ahead of anything else, we look for individualism and diversity in our graduate intake - so it's very important at every stage of the selection process that you take the opportunity to show us what you're really like.
