What happens if I can’t find a placement?
Don't give up! Speak to your Placement Coordinator, as it is important that you keep in regular contact for advice and guidance.
It can sometimes take longer than expected to find a suitable placement. Most courses have a mandatory placement so you will be referred to your Programme Support Officer (PSO) if you are unable to secure a placement, to check on your course regulations. If it is an optional placement, you will be switched to the full-time course version, and you would then be notified by your faculty or the PSO. For more information visit the find a placement webpage.
