    Economics placement year!
    Hi, I was wondering what places Economics students at Sheffield go to for their placements? And how difficult is it for students to get good placements?

    Hi , I'm doing economics too . At the open day there was a variety of places that the students went to e.g like banks , consultancy firms , govt departments . They also have a careers department that help you to get placements , they said in all the years they've done placements everyone that's wanted one has gotten one .
