I've just finished the first year of my undergrad degree which includes a year in industry after the 2nd year. I'm interested in doing the placement in either Australia/New Zealand or Germany, but I'm struggling to find companies that have schemes set up like they do in the UK for sandwich placements.

From what I've seen so far there are a lot of graduate programmes and a lot of vacation programmes (12 week undergrad placements) in Aus/NZ but no proper year long undergrad programmes. Does anyone have any experience with applying for one of these or know of any good job sites that include them?

For Germany DAAD has been helpful so far but if anyone had any other sites they've used that would be quality.

What sector/job type and degree are you looking at?

For some engineering jobs in Germany I would go to your career office I know mechanical engineers currently on placement in Germany that the UWE job office got for them.

Ideally R&D or scientific research with a defence contractor. I know that it's more difficult to get these types of jobs if you aren't a citizen of the country (most of the UK ones I've looked at require you to be a British passport holder) so I'm open to working for different types of company as well.

Thanks for that one, I'll look into it and see if they have anything.
