As part of my Chemical Engineering I do a placement year during my third year where I spend 12 months working for a company as a Student Engineer (This is for me to get my DIS with my degree). I will be starting at Croda on the 2nd September.

I was supposed to start work at Artenius one the 1st Sept but unfortunately they went bust 2 weeks before I was supposed to start work. I fortunately managed to get a new placement at Croda, which seems to be a better placement. And they give me the first 4 weeks of accomindation free of charge which will keep my costs down nicely.

Will keep you updated.
