If you are undertaking a a Professional Placement Year between your second and third years of academic study, you can benefit from the The Professional Placement Year Bursary.
Introduced in 2025, its aim is to make work experience more accessible, providing students with money which can be used towards placement costs such as travel, food, workwear or accommodation.
How it works
The bursary is paid in two instalments, and the total amount you receive will depend on which eligibility criteria you meet. These criteria are split into three tiers, and each one is outlined below.
The first half of the bursary will be paid once your placement has been approved by the University, and you will receive the second half in January.
Once your placement details have been submitted, the University will determine which tier you fall into, and you will be notified by the outcome via email. The money will then be paid to you automatically.
Students studying at our Educational Partner institutes are not eligible for this scheme.
