During a 12-week placement at the 4th year (as part of their curriculum), the student will find out more about the working environment experienced by a dietitian, the way they work and the other health professionals they work with. You will start practicing some of the skills required. You will also undertake some practicum experience throught all the years and at at the end of which the student will be managing his/her own small workload. The placement will give the chance to apply the theoretical knowledge gained through the studies and to consolidate the knowledge, skills and attitudes, as well as to further develop them with more complex cases and situations. The placements are fully integrated with the academic part of your programme, allowing gaining practical experience that enhances your learning. During your placements, trained supervisors will help the students to develop and learn.
