Placement Information

Once you have accepted a place on the course (and each year if you are on the undergraduate route) you will receive an email from the Education Placements team asking you to complete a student information form which will be used to allocate a placement for you. Please prioritise completing this to maximise the chance of securing your placement as quickly as possible. We work in tight competition with other universities and placement opportunities may be lost if we fail to respond promptly to offers received so your help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any queries regarding this information, please contact our Education Placements team on either T: 0114 225 5990 or email the team at ehpartnership@shu.ac.uk.

Travel to placements

Sheffield Hallam University has a network of placement providers which we work with to enable you to fulfil the school based training requirements of your course. These providers are situated throughout South Yorkshire, North East Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and other neighbouring counties. It is expected that students will be required to travel to get to their placements. We aim, where possible, to ensure that this travel is within a reasonable distance and would not normally be further than a maximum of 2 hours one way.

Travel Policy

You will be eligible to claim travel expenses if your total daily cost of travel to and from your placement is greater than the total daily cost of your journey to and from University irrespective of method of travel (public transport or own vehicle). You will be able to claim the difference in cost between these two journeys.

If you have any queries regarding this form, please call our Education Placements team on 0114 225 5990.  Alternatively you can email the team at ehpartnership@shu.ac.uk
