University Placement
Pause your studies, gain real experience at MHA, and accelerate your future.
Looking for a placement that gives you a real taste of life in practice and helps you apply your academic knowledge in a professional setting? At MHA, we offer university students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, expand your skillset, and enhance your employability.
Whether you’re seeking a 12-month placement to enrich your studies or exploring a potential pathway to a permanent role after graduation, we’ve got the perfect opportunity for you.
Bridge the gap between theory and practice
At MHA, we believe in the power of hands-on learning and the significant impact it can have on your future. If you’re ready to take what you’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to real-world challenges, our university placement offers valuable insights into the professional world. You'll gain exposure to a variety of tasks, clients, and teams, building your confidence and skill set while preparing you for the next step in your career.
More than a placement
This isn’t just about shadowing or observing – it’s about making a real impact. At MHA, we give you the chance to contribute meaningfully, working on live projects that allow you to showcase your skills. Many of our placement students have joined us after graduating, continuing their journey with MHA and leaving their own unique mark on our success.
Completing a placement at MHA was one of the most valuable steps I’ve taken in my career so far! I was treated as a full member of the team, with the same responsibilities and workload as permanent staff, which significantly contributed to my professional development. When I returned as a trainee, I was able to focus on my exams without having to learn how to do my job from scratch.
The opportunities are endless, and it doesn’t end here – your journey at MHA could be just the beginning.
Build your communication and client management skills while gaining a deeper understanding of the industries we serve.
Embrace MHA’s core values and contribute to real projects, guided and mentored by senior professionals.
Leave with tangible, transferable skills that will set you apart in the job market.
