Placement Event (online) – 16 November 2022
The event will be an opportunity for LAHP students to find out all the latest information about the placement scheme, as well as hear about fellow students’ and supervisor’s experiences. We will also have presentations from Gemma Evans regarding the AHRC International Placement Scheme, as well as from our current partners who are offering specific placement opportunities, followed by a networking session where you will be able to speak to the representatives from a variety placement hosts. Dr Anna Sexton (LAHP Deputy Director, Collaborations & Partnerships) and Valeria Farruggia (LAHP Senior Support Officer) will also be available to discuss any questions you may have on placements with non-HEI partners of your own choice.
