Introduction to the placement handbook

Going on placement can be quite daunting at first, but it really can be one of the best experiences of your life. This handbook will give you advice and information on how to best prepare and organise yourself beforehand, and some useful guidance for when you are settling in to your placement.

Whilst away on placement and registered with the University, you remain as much a part of the University of Bath Students’ Union as when you were studying on your campus. You can keep up to date with what’s happening here through BathStudent.com and getting in contact.

If at any time while you are away you experience a difficulty that you need help with, whether it be academic or welfare related, don’t hesitate to get in contact with the Academic and Welfare Centre (AWARE).

AWARE is here for all students and can advise you on a whole range of issues.

With very best wishes for a thoroughly enjoyable placement!
