Placement year

At the end of year 2 you will normally have the opportunity to apply for a placement year.

The Department works closely with the Careers and Placements Office in order to offer a range of experiences. More details can be found on the Placement Year webpages.

This is an optional year, not a replacement year. Should you be interested in this experience and accepted for it then your Integrated Masters in Nursing programme will be 5 years in duration.

A Placement Year offers you the chance to gain valuable work experience at a challenging level that will help prepare you for graduate jobs. There is an opportunity for you to pursue a Placement Year as part of your studies, receiving recognition within your degree title. This would be an additional year, which you would take between your second and third year of study and you would be supervised by the Careers and Placements team for the duration of this year.

You will need to find and secure your own placement and the Careers and Placements team can help you through the selection and approval process.
