Placements

Over 60% of University of Bath students undertake a placement or study year abroad with a wide range of employment or study opportunities being taken up. The University, the student, and the employer/host institution all have a role to play in ensuring the health and safety of the student.

The University’s duty of care to our students includes ensuring that measures are in place to prevent students being harmed while on placement. Work placements and study abroad programmes are risk assessed in the same way as any other work activity to include the following factors:

  • Work/ activities

  • Travel and transportation

  • Location and/ or region

  • General /environmental health

  • The individual

  • Contingency planning, emergency provision and limitations of insurance
