• Discover how to navigate the support available to you, with some top tips from previous placement students 
• Find out how to gain experience without experience (using your summer wisely).

• Gain insight into CVs, cover letters and applications for placement.
• Leave feeling confident and prepared to apply for placements when you return in Year 2

What's in it for me?

This 4-hour interactive session will help prepare you for each stage of the placement recruitment process and give you the opportunity to learn alongside your peers from other subjects in the same Placement Year cohort. Refreshments will be available during and throughout the event.
