The management of any "placement" is the responsibility of the participating student's academic department.

Not everything is a placement. Projects which form part of a programme are not classified as "placements". However, part or all of a project may involve a period of supervised attendance at an external organisation and where this lasts for 2 weeks or more it would be considered a "placement".

Placement guidance is aimed at both internal staff & internal students, with a focus on support available to students planning a placement abroad. It draws on placement policy and good practice (referencing student exchanges, Erasmus+, other mobility programmes and the UG Extra-ECTS system.)
