Degree or masters: 1st year student 

Department: Rural, Forestry, Food and Farming, Infrastructure

Locations: Exeter, Bury St Edmunds, Sevenoks, Inverness, Cambridge, York

Contract: 1 week work experience

Placement date: Monday 3rd - Thursday 6th April 2023

Across the programme, students during the week will undertake placements in our surveying (commercial, development, residential, affordable housing, operational capital markets), rural, building surveying, food & farming, forestry, sustainability, energy, environmnet and infrastructure and town planning teams.

Our aim is to provide a taste of the work of Savills graduates and show how the property industry works. During a placement we will offer the opportunity to attend virtual departmental talks to learn about other areas of the business, attend social events and meet directors from across Savills.

Savills Insight demonstrates how we work, and what real estate means. It is a valuable chance for students considering property amongst their options for a career, and especially to those who think Savills could be the employer of choice for them. Insight is also a great way to strengthen an application for our summer scheme (open to second year cognate and non-cognate students and third year non-cognate students) and the graduate programme (open to final year students and masters students).
