6 months study/ 6 months work abroad
You may be eligible to do a split placement where you study abroad for 6 months and work for 6 months. Check with your Programme Tutor as to whether this is an option for you.
Where can I work?
You can do a full work placement year either in the UK or abroad, as long as you meet the necessary visa requirements of that country.
What are the requirements
To fulfil university requirements, your placement must be:
- Of sufficient length. Typically, a placement is 9-12 months long; we encourage students to seek something in this range. However, 30 weeks is the minimum current requirement.
- Full-time hours (minimum of 35 hours per week). Please note: The minimum of 30 weeks is overruled if your individual school programme specification requires that you must do more/less than 30 weeks.
