Business Summer Placement (3 months)

Economics, Business.

Create Real Impact from Day One

At Siemens, we create technology that transforms the everyday. Whether you're passionate about tech, engineering, sustainability, or business strategy, you won’t just be watching from the sidelines — you’ll contribute to real-world projects that shape industries and communities across the UK.

What placement students own
Answering a student's question, Mary explains what a placement student owns: it varies by team, from getting stuck into day-to-day work to defined projects, and anyone without enough to do should ask for more and bring their own project ideas.

  • You will be working towards a degree in any discipline with an interest in Business or Economics. 
  • Work experience in a business environment would be beneficial but not essential 
  • Have the self-determination and ability to drive your own development throughout the summer.

Continuous Growth:

  • A dedicated induction week away to build your national peer network.
  • Structured rotations, continuous mentoring, and formal professional development.
