Within the College of Medical and Dental Sciences we are able to offer placements in biomedical research and professional services.
Students who wish to undertake a placement within the College are required to organise the placement directly with a placement host. To help with identifying a suitable placement host, you may wish to search our College staff lists which you can find by exploring the links under “Institutes and Schools”. Please only contact one staff member at a time.
We would advise students who are interested in healthcare (including medicine) that work experience in an NHS environment would be more relevant and appropriate than a placement in the College of Medical & Dental Sciences. Alternatively, work experience doing something that involves working with the public, for example volunteering/working at a retirement home/village, in a charity shop, or any other community organisation will be an excellent way to gain the skills required by healthcare professions and will give you an excellent opportunity to develop your communication skills. It is important that you gain an understanding of the work and challenges faced by healthcare staff, and we have put together numerous resources to help you get started.
