We also believe that the skills you will acquire are as important as your course content. You will have the opportunity to complete certificates and undertake work placements. These experiences will help you develop and hone relevant professional skills, giving you the edge when it comes to your employability.
If you want to broaden your perspective by studying overseas we can support you to apply for a year's study abroad. You will also have the option to complete a year-long work placement. Students are automatically enrolled on the three-year course, however you have the option to change to a four-year course with an intercalated year in the third year. The intercalated year spent studying abroad or on work placement is subject to you meeting departmental academic requirements.
