Celebrating Student Success on Placement

Placement Awards

We re-launched our placement  competition, to recognise and celebrate the achievements of students who have successfully secured and completed professional placements.

We invited students not to simply write about their experience, but to tell their story on camera, in their own words, and through their own lens. Each video was a unique window into the placement experience, capturing the professionalism, creativity, and depth of learning our students gained during their time in the workplace.
