Brief Description This is a student-led, vocationally orientated module that can enable students to build on work placement experiences from previous levels. The module will involve the completion of a substantial work placement (approx 50 hours) that will be negotiated and agreed by the student, the Module Tutor and the Placement Office. Criminal Records Bureau clearance will be required.
Indicative Syllabus The student will be responsible for negotiating a placement with a host agency with the support and agreement of the Module Tutor and Placement Unit. This may represent an opportunity to develop relationships with previous placement providers.
