Placement Year Students
Placement Year opportunities are available each year for a limited number of undergraduate students who working towards a RICS accredited degree – usually between their second and final years of study.
The placement year offers an invaluable opportunity for students to work for us on a 12-month fixed term contract usually starting in July or August. Our placement year students typically do not rotate and will get 12 months solid experience within a single team.
Whilst placement students cannot formerly enrol onto the APC until they have completed their degree, a placement year at LSH can count towards the APC and it may be possible for students to have their APC start date backdated retrospectively to the start of their placement year. In addition, students are welcome to attend the Year 1 APC training we provide for graduates in the time they are with us.
Where can I do a placement year at LSH?
Our Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester, Belfast and Glasgow offices all currently support placement year students but it does change annually.
How and when can I apply?
Applications and expressions of interest for our placement year scheme typically open from 1st October to 15th November each year. A link will appear here when applications open.
Work Experience
Each year we are able to support a number of students with paid work experience and unpaid work shadowing opportunities across our offices. These can be anything from 1- or 2-days shadowing for those looking to get an understanding of what we do, right up to a 4-week placement or maybe even longer over the summer holidays for those wanting to gain more hands-on experience. If you would like to be considered for a work experience opportunity please contact us, clearly stating which office location and why you would like to be considered.
Due to the sheer volume of requests we receive unfortunately we cannot respond to and accommodate everyone, but we will do what we can.
