Placement Year Scheme

Overview

Students in the Faculty of Humanities have the opportunity to undertake a Placement Year between the second and final year of their degrees.  The Placement Year aims to:

1. Offer students the opportunity to apply to undertake a year’s placement in industry whether at home or abroad, and to receive credits and a dedicated award for this achievement.
2. Provide an opportunity to gain experience working in a professional environment.
3. Develop employment-related skills, including an understanding of how one relates to the structures and functions in an organisation.
4. Develop the qualities needed for employment in situations requiring the exercise of professionalism, independent thought, personal responsibility and decision-making.
