Abstract

This paper studies the relationship between students' academic performance and work experience during their undergraduate studies. The econometric analysis based on a sample of students from the School of Economics at the University of Surrey shows that the average of rst-year marks is positively related to securing a placement year. The mean predicted probability of obtaining a placement position is approximately 50% if a student's average rst-year grade is 50, and the probability rises to 67% and 80% if the student achieves an average of 60 and 70, respectively. Other relevant factors that a ect the likelihood of securing a placement are the type of programme of studies, the student's nationality and ethnic group. On the other hand, school type and A- levels scores in mathematics or in economics have no e ect on the chances of securing a placement year.
