Work placements and projects

Embedding Work-Based Learning (WBL) within our university degree programmes is a vital mechanism to enhance students' practical skills, facilitate the use of knowledge in the applied world and suitably prepare and connect our students and graduates for their role as the future workforce. The University of Stirling aims to produce confident, aspirational graduates who can successfully compete in a global economy.

In line with the university’s strategic objectives and commitment to further developing WBL opportunities for students across our programmes, this policy will act as a guide which supports those colleagues developing or delivering a module or a programme which contains a work placement and work-based project to ensure it is a positive, safe and successful experience for all stakeholders.
