The School of Education offers a variety of placements for both undergraduate and postgraduate students which form an integrated and assessed part of their degree.
Placement is a three-way partnership between the educational setting, the student, and the School of Education. It is a set period where students can learn in a professional environment relevant to their studies.
There are many benefits of student practice placement. They:
- Increase the student participation in a community of practice
- Provide an opportunity to gain and develop skills and competencies specific to their subject
- Help students to explore their career options
- Create a network of potential contacts
- Enhance employability on graduation
Above all placements provide an opportunity of relating theory to practice. They are thus a very important component of the student education learning experience.
