A sandwich location is a structured work experience program that is integrated into a university degree, which usually lasts for up to 9-12 months. This allows students to gain practical industry experience in the midst of their education studies, which makes them more employed after graduation.

In the UK, sandwich placement is popular in areas such as engineering science, business, IT and science. They offer hands -on training, networking opportunities and the real understanding of the profession.
