Completing a clinical placement abroad through exchange
Some Nursing and Allied Health Profession courses offer students the opportunity to complete a clinical placement abroad, organised through our partner universities. These placements - typically 10 to 12 weeks long and at the start of the Level 3 year - give you the opportunity to gain specialist skills in professional healthcare environments outside of the UK.
Students whose course offers this option can apply to study abroad during Semester 1 of their Level 2 year.
Most UWE Bristol partner universities offer teaching in English and the majority of clinical placements provide English-speaking mentors.
Department of Health and Social Sciences
Students of Criminology can apply to study abroad during their sandwich placement year at any of our exchange partners within the department of Health and Social Sciences. Whilst abroad you will have the option to study broad social science modules.
