Panic! At the work placement

The PSA Teaching and Learning Network has launched its fourth webinar series 'Teaching Politics and IR Online: Key Issues, Skills and Pedagogy '. This series has been recorded and relevant information and resources can be found here.

Politics degrees have increasingly moved towards having work placements in recent years, but the pandemic has created numerous problems for students obtaining and completing a placement. This webinar outlines the experiences we faced in running the work placement module in the academic years 19/20 and 20/21, the steps we took towards mitigating these problems, and invites discussion on how work placements will sit in politics degrees in the next few academic years.
