All placements are subject to COVID-19 restrictions and the below are examples of past placement opportunities. There may be additional costs and the destinations are subject to change – please take a look at the course pages for more information.
We have partnerships with over 400 placement schools in urban and rural settings, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to discover what suits you best.
