Ulster University are sourcing work placement opportunities for students studying towards degrees across multiple disciplines. These students are required to complete a work placement in the area of their study to enable them to achieve the Diploma in Professional Practice.
All placements must be confirmed by 1st December
Placements can commence between October and at the latest January 2021
Students must complete minimum 15 weeks work placement – this can be with one employer or with multiple employers for shorter periods to make up the 15 weeks – therefore if a shorter placement period appeals to you we can still promote this opportunity

Students can still undertake placements in the workplace, where health and safety measures are in place to protect employees, such as social distancing.
