Student Placement Allocation Process - BSc Students (Not applicable to Degree Apprenticeship students)

Students will be allocated to an audited placement within the placement circuit referred to at recruitment and in induction. Placement supervisors/mentors will have completed an annual briefing and will have completed all mandatory training in order to ensure that their support of the student is valid.

Details of the process for allocating you a placement can be found below. The placement areas are subject to change across the lifetime of the course, as providers may change their placement offer for reasons beyond the university's control. New areas may be added and existing areas may be removed.
