Dear Colleagues,
I hope you will be able to help with an issue that is taxing our placement units in relation to the length of a placement year.
Our regulations currently state that in order to qualify for a sandwich award, students must take 48 weeks of placement activity.
Our placement units are saying that this is starting to cause them problems in a number of areas, and would like to make a case that a lower number of weeks should be acceptable, in certain
cases.
Please could you let me have the answers to the following questions:
1.
Do you have a minimum and maximum number of weeks that students have to undertake placement activity to gain a sandwich award?
2.
Are there differences between subject areas, or just a university standard?
3.
Do you have any guidance/something in your regs about exceptional circumstances eg where a company goes out of business?
Thanking you in anticipation of your help with this – I will collate responses and post to the list
Have a happy Easter
