Work experience placements can be made available through our engagement with local organisations. Some of our students have recently had work experience placements with WithYou Lincolnshire and the Family Assessment and Support Team (FAST) team at Lincolnshire County Council - enabling them to put theory into practice and make connections with those in the industry.

The assessment methods typically used throughout the programme include:

• Essays

• Reports

• Case Studies

• Group and Individual Presentations

• Oral Exams

• Exams

Progression

Graduates will have the opportunity to develop a strong set of practical skills for pursuing careers in a range of sectors. For example, Prison and Probation Services, Local Government and the police and agents of the CJS. Graduates may also continue to postgraduate study and teaching.
