By participating in on-campus workshops and completing a range of reflective assessments, students gain professional development and enhance their employability.
Students engage in external, work-related activities in placements that they secure, typically over the summer months but it can be during the academic year, as well.
External engagement activities require the approval from the student’s academic School.
