The first opportunities are now advertised. More placements will be added in the coming months, but it is up to you to keep an eye out for the new ones. Applications this year will be handled via an online form, but will require a CV and information that might otherwise be included in a covering letter. Please speak to Amanda/Careers/your tutor/any member of staff you know well if you don’t understand this. They report that many students don’t seem to appreciate the opportunity that a covering letter (or these paragraphs) gives them to promote their own individuality or to separate themselves from the crowd.
