Travelling to placement AND placement associated expenses

Travelling to Placement

We recognise that many of our students will need to travel to their placement. Wherever possible we will not expect students to travel for longer than 2 hours to a placement. 

However, if a student chooses to live outside the placement circuit, it may not be possible to apply the two-hour travel time limit owing to the geographical location of available placements.

Please see guidance on Travel information in the Placement Preparation section of this site:

  • Travelling to and from placement safely
  • Use of student's own vehicle on placement policy
  • Student weather advice

Placement Associated Expenses

The National Bursary is currently available to all Physician Associate students; this includes an element to cover the costs of travel to placement.  Information about managing placement expenses will be made available on the course BlackBoard site.
