The Year in Industry scheme is a great way to do this.  There are placement
opportunities with some very interesting companies, and they organise
courses and social events with other local YINI people, which can really
help.

I did this 7 years ago, and was placed for a year at QinetiQ doing some
pretty interesting engineering work.  Would definitely recommend it.
