Alfie Howard - Land and Planning Graduate

“I joined Berkeley as a Land and Planning Graduate in September 2024, having previously completed a placement year with the business during my undergraduate degree. That placement year was incredibly valuable. I was exposed to real projects, supported by experienced professionals and gained insights that helped with my final-year studies. More importantly, it confirmed that Berkeley was the company I wanted to return to.

Off the back of that experience, I was offered a place on the graduate scheme. It was a no-brainer to return - the scheme has allowed me to continue developing my skills and deepen my understanding of the planning and development process".
