This module provides the opportunity for work-based learning, by means of placements with a range of agencies suitable for History, Philosophy or Social Sciences students. The aim of the module is to help to prepare students for future work-based contexts.
Students will identify and arrange their own placements. If the student has any difficulties staff will assist in this process. Students are allowed to undertake placements either locally to the university, or term time address. Students will undertake 100 hours at their chosen placement.
*If you are interested in this module, please contact the module convenor prior to choosing it as an option.
Such experiential and career-oriented learning is consistent with the university’s commitment to employability enhancement. The module complies with the University Code of Practice on Placement Learning (https://www.bangor.ac.uk/regulations/codes/code07.php.en).
