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.

Please familiarise yourself with the policy which you can find here:
