The sandwich placement is usually the third year of a 4-year undergraduate degree; and the second year of a 2-year postgraduate degree. The year immediately prior to the sandwich year (Level 5, or Level 7) is the \u2018Placement Seeking year\u2019. During this time students in all cases across Hallam are expected to source their placement for the following year. There are typically around 2,800-3,000 placement seekers each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The placement does not attract any academic credit, but does attract both tuition fees (\u00a31,200 in 2020\/21) and funding from SLC.\u00a0Funding<\/a>\u00a0is explained to students on MyHallam.<\/span><\/p>\n
