You will be asked to sign a Placement Agreement Letter.
The letter must be signed by:

5. Wait for confirmation that your placement is approved
The Placements team will email you when your placement has been approved.
Read the full email carefully. It will tell you:

Outstanding University fees
If you have outstanding University fees or a sanction for non-payment of fees, your placement may not be able to continue.
Make the necessary fee payment arrangements before your placement is approved. This will help avoid delays and reduce the risk of being unable to undertake your placement.
