Overview
Module aims and purpose
The aims are to:聽
- provide the student with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the first two years of their undergraduate studies聽
- extend knowledge and learning in their chosen degree discipline聽
- gain knowledge, understanding and skills of working in a relevant environment.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Demonstrate in-depth understanding of their placement organisation, structure and rules of governance and their own role within this structure.
- Offer a detailed academic appreciation of the placement by relating the placement role to academic study and demonstrating in-depth understanding of the ways in which theory and practice are linked.
- Present material and articulate arguments in both written and oral form.
- Demonstrate the use of transferable skills from and to the placement
- Develop a greater understanding of the requirements of the workplace through experience of full-time employment in a setting with relevance to their skills and knowledge in the field of Politics and International Relations. Through the placement students will build on their experience of team-based work. They will gain experience of planning, organisation, communication and research within the workplace. The experience will be relevant to future career development and employability.
Module content
The area of work undertaken on the placement will be related to the student's programme of study in the Department of Politics and International Relations. The day-to-day content of the work will be set by the student's employer. The work placement should provide the student with the opportunity for independent problem solving and working in a team.聽
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
Students will receive guidance on placement planning and remain supported by the School Placement Coordinator throughout their year. However, the emphasis on this module is on independent working, including work experience, learning by observation, training and doing.聽
Study hours
At least 0 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online.

- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
