Common questions
When do design industrial placement applications open?
They open across the year, with no single peak month. The first design industrial placement we tracked this cycle opened on 1 Mar 2026 (RSHP), and the most recent on 1 Oct 2026 (Cummins). Many review applications as they arrive, so the strongest position is to apply in the first weeks a role is open.
How many design industrial placements are open right now?
4 are open now, from 3 employers. 2 close in the next 7 days. The count updates as roles open and close.
When do design industrial placement applications close?
Deadlines for the roles open now run from 12 Nov 2026 to 30 Nov 2026, with half closing by 13 Nov 2026. 1 has a rolling deadline, which means applications are reviewed as they arrive and the role can close before its stated date.
Do design industrial placements sponsor visas?
None of the 4 open roles currently state that they offer visa sponsorship. Many don't mention it either way, so check the employer's page before you apply.
I've missed the deadline. Is it worth applying?
Usually no. Once a deadline passes, the employer's application form closes. Roles with rolling deadlines can also close before their stated date, so the safest plan is to apply in the first few weeks a role is open. Each closed role keeps its page here with the date it opened, so you can plan for the next round.
