Semester 1

Trefnydd: Ms Sian Pierce

The module provides students with the opportunity to acquire professional experience that is relevant to their degree programme and which will enhance their prospects of graduate-level employment after leaving the University. It builds on employability skills developed under the Bangor Employability Award (BEA), and the placement itself contributes work experience for the BEA. Students take responsibility for finding suitable placements, and placement providers assess the performance of students while they are on placement. Students produce a portfolio that evaluates both the organisation that provided their placement and the student's own work within that organisation.

The practical element of the module comprises a block placement (15-20 days) during the summer vacation between the second and third (final) years. The placement must be approved by the module organiser and the University before work begins; the module organiser will monitor progress during the placement, mainly by email. During the first semester of the final year, students attend a post-placement meeting and individual tutorials, and submit a placement portfolio.
