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. The programme also allows students to assess the range of employment opportunities open to them and experience fields of practice they may wish to work in following their graduatio n. Resources Our programmes are taught by highly motivated staff who are actively engaged in research activity or directly undertaking clinical practice within a hospital or community health setting.
All students have a personal tutor for support and guidance.
