Welcome from the BA

I know only too well how important decisions about higher education and future careers are. They will be some of the most significant you ever make. Choosing what subjects to study and where to do so can be agonising, as can deciding what to do at the end of your course.

This easy-to-follow guide is packed with useful information about student sponsorships and placements offered by companies. It is provided in a way that is very easy to understand. And it is easy to see why previous issues have been in great demand.

It is good to see that so many companies are willing to provide support and opportunities to students. Any company, which is prepared to invest in the future in this way, is likely to be one with a bright future itself.

The BA is delighted to be associated with this guide. I hope that it will help you to gain added value from your university or college experience.
