Work placements

You can undertake placements in different workplaces each year (it might be a school, voluntary group or other informal educational organisation). Placements are not compulsory but we encourage you to take them as they provide invaluable experience.Our partnership team and your tutors help you find the right placement for you. You complete between 80 and 100 hours in each placement setting.

The broad subject knowledge you gain and the ability to analyse issues from a range of perspectives are attributes that makes you attractive to a range of graduate employers. 95% of our students are in work or further study six months after graduation. Currently about half of our graduates go on to train as teachers by completing a one year Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), often here at the Institute of Education.
