If your university course isn't listed, you may still receive sponsorship following a placement with us. All our placement opportunities are advertised in the Undergraduates section and require you to apply directly to us when at university. In addition, we support the ICE Quest Undergraduate Scholarship scheme and the ConstructionSkills Inspire Scholarship scheme. Please visit the respective websites, www.ice.org.uk and www.bconstructive.co.uk for further information and details of how to apply.
