The Residence Abroad and Placements Office is the first point of contact for any placement related enquiries. We have a dedicated team of support staff who are available to answer any questions you may have about completing a placement, whether for residence abroad or if participating in the School’s Placements Scheme (non-language students only).
Shady Nowrouz, Residence Abroad and Placements Manager
Completing a placement can be a daunting prospect but we are here to help you through the process by:
- holding information sessions and workshops throughout the year to outline your options and prepare you for your placement
- providing resources such as handbooks, Blackboard sites and web pages
- providing you with access to a database of potential placement providers and job opportunities as soon as they arrive
- arranging networking opportunities for you to meet with final year students who have completed a placement
- guiding you through the application process for work placements, study abroad placements and the British Council English Language Assistantship Scheme
- passing on the student feedback we have received from previous placement students to help inform you during the planning stages
- remaining in regular contact with you before, during and after your placement period and acting swiftly to help resolve problems
