- All undergraduate courses have an option of completing a sandwich or placement year in the UK or abroad.
- We have strong international links and recently the School has partially funded student visits to Argentina, India, Florida, Malawi and Dublin.
- Teaching staff are actively involved in research and consultancy, which informs our teaching and provides opportunities for students to gain extra volunteering experience.

Postgraduate tips
- Get involved with staff research and consultancy or other volunteering opportunities during your undergraduate degree course – it’s the extra experience you gain during your degree that will make a difference.

- Don’t be afraid to contact the Course Director in order to discuss the course or area of research.
