    Hi Guys,

    I can't seem to find info on this, but as work placements are so difficult to get nowadays according to Don, what actually happens if you can't manage to get one? Work placement is worth 15 credits in my course.

    Thanks

    For my (engineering) course if you're the poor unfortunate who somehow dosen't get placement they'll find something for you to do in the labs, hasn't happened in a while, classes are smaller and they are paid placements so even useless people made the effort for interviews etc.

    I did Chemistry and people who didn't get placements were again given something to do around the college. One thing though, work placement is great thing to have on your CV leaving college so do your best to get one.
