The purpose of the module is to enable students to obtain professional experience in an organisation with suitable geographical and environmental focus to enable the student to apply course-related concepts and develop generic skills. Given the range of possible placement locations, no two student experience will be the same and the range of activities and format will invariably differ. However, the placement will link theory and practice of the academic components of the course of study and enable personal development through professional conduct and interaction.

The placement consists of a block placement of a minimum of 4 weeks in length, to be undertaken at any suitable juncture in the academic year. The placement organization is arranged by the student, with the approval of the University. The placement provides students with real-life professional experience which will enhance the understanding of the link between theory and practice in a range of geographical and environmental fields. The placement provides students with the opportunity to develop their future employment directions, and enhance their employability by employing self-direction, motivation and originality in a professional environment.
