Welcome to the Placements website for the School of Human Sciences. Placements can be taken either during a single semester or during the summer break, or as a sandwich placement where you take a year out of your degree studies. This site is aimed at making your placement search easier by giving you information on upcoming events, help with applications and the best methods to secure a sandwich placement. Please use the links on the right to browse through the site.

What is a sandwich placement?
A sandwich placement is an industrial placement of 1 year duration (46 weeks) or pro-rata part-time. This work is recognised as a double module. The placement module carries 30 credits at advanced level, which means you only have to take 6 taught modules in the final year on successful completion of the placement.
The activities undertaken must be of a suitable level and must be relevant to the degree studied.
The placement is paid usually between £11,000 and £14,000.
It is usually taken between year 2 and 3 of the degree or when a minimum of 4 passes at intermediate level have been achieved.
