We are proud of the range and quality of practical experiences students encounter on this programme. Some clinical placements will be in hospitals, others in the community and primary care settings. During each placement experience, students work with qualified practitioners, acquiring skills for the provision of high quality care. There is a scheme of continuous assessment in both the theoretical and practical components of the course. Our graduates are highly successful in securing jobs within the nine NHS Trusts that work with the University of Surrey on the undergraduate programmes providing clinical placements and support for each student throughout their three years of studying.
