For other courses at UH, you are required to check with your Programme Tutor to ensure that you know your course requirements and you can take a placement year as part of your programme.  For masters courses with a sandwich placement year, please refer to your tutor/school with regards to eligibility for the placement, as well as the appropriate dates and deadlines.

For help finding a placement view the following article: Finding a placement.

Please check with your School about what course related activities you would need to do on your placement.

Please note that if you have outstanding fees with the University/a sanction for non-payment of fees, your placement may be unable to continue.  It is recommended that you make all the necessary fee payment arrangements in advance of your placement approval to avoid the delays related to this and the possibility that you may not be able to undertake your placement.
