Necip spent his<br />

placement at<br />

HM Treasury.<br />

<strong>Brunel</strong> was my first choice<br />

because it ticked every<br />

box that i was looking<br />

for in a university. it’s<br />

situated on a clean and<br />

stylish campus, it’s in<br />

Greater london, it has a<br />

reputation for producing<br />

strong economics<br />

graduates, and it offers<br />

economics students<br />

the opportunity to go<br />

on a work placement<br />

in the penultimate<br />

year of their studies.<br />

three years on and i’m<br />

thoroughly enjoying<br />

my time here. i recently<br />

finished a year at Hm<br />

treasury in the european<br />

economics team. as well<br />

as providing regular<br />

briefings for the Prime<br />

minister and chancellor<br />

(whom i had the<br />

opportunity to meet),<br />

i was given the role of<br />

housing market expert,<br />

producing high level<br />

research and presenting<br />

to an audience.<br />

the opportunity to<br />

undertake a placement<br />

separates <strong>Brunel</strong> from<br />

most other universities<br />

in london, and <strong>Brunel</strong>’s<br />

Placement and careers<br />

centre’s strong links with<br />

prospective employers<br />

are very beneficial from<br />

a student’s perspective.<br />
