Placement year

Placement year is a course attribute that shows the method of attendance. It lets you flag the placement year. You should only use this flag if the full-time study is less than 10 weeks.

This is an optional attribute and is only available for undergraduate courses. It consists of alternating periods of full-time study and work experience or external study.

Courses where most of the study happens overseas are not designated for student support.

You can only use the placement attribute for full-time courses. It is not available when you create a part-time course. You can apply the placement attribute to more than one year of an individual course.

There is further information on placement and sandwich courses on our practitioners website.
