One of our graduates emailed us to let us know that the GES is advertising for placement students for next year.
These placements are for a full year and would mean that you have to apply for (and be granted) a year out between third and fourth year, but we would support your request for this to College. They are also very competitive so you need to be confident of getting a 2:1 or a 1st to even consider applying.
The GES run a Summer Placement scheme too - further info about summer 2010 placements is due to become available in December and we'll publish the information when we receive it.
The opening date for this round of applications is Friday 9 October, and the closing date for receipt of applications is Friday 16 October 2009.
Our contact has said that he is willing to help with advice on how to prepare, either on the economics or general competency side. He'll email you some hints on interview structure and success. Let me know if you want to take him up on this and I'll forward your email onto him (Economics.SSO@ed.ac.uk).
