Clinical placements are integral to your course and make up 50 per cent of your time. You will experience a wide range of healthcare practice in both the community and hospital settings.
The focus of your placements will depend on your chosen profession and specialism. You will experience the 24-hour nature of care and gain an understanding of your patients' or clients' journey. You will work with a wide range of nursing and midwifery practitioners and members of the multiprofessional team.
Your allocation to practice will vary depending on your chosen course.

Placement providers
The university has excellent relationships with local healthcare providers. Student placements are organised around the following geographical areas:
- Hastings and Eastbourne
- Brighton and Haywards Heath
- Worthing
We do our best to place students in the closest geographic area to their home. However, this does not apply to midwifery students on community placements who are deliberately placed away from their home in order to avoid contact with a patient who may be a friend or relative.
