Placements

Some courses offer students the opportunity to undertake placements. When students are on an optional placement in the UK or overseas or studying abroad, they will be required to cover their own transport and accommodation and meals costs.

Students are encouraged to obtain placements in industry independently. Tutors may provide support and advice to students who require it during this process.
