Facilities

We do our best to introduce you to the latest technology in your field of interest so you can put theoretical knowledge into practice. While you will still have classes and lectures, expect learning environments such as a simulated ward with computerised patient models who assume real health issues. We value diversity and inclusion, so facilities are designed to encourage interprofessional learning between health and social practice, with opportunities for interaction between staff and students.

Placements

We understand the benefits of learning in real-world work environments — that’s why our students spend time in work placements for credit towards their qualifications. The amount of time you’ll spend on placement in relation to class time varies according to what qualification you’re studying and the year you’re in; first year students will spend approximately a quarter of the year doing work placement compared to third year students who will spend most of their time on placement.
