Fieldwork - Faculty of Education

Students in initial teacher education courses must successfully complete a specified number of days of professional experience, which consists of supervised school/early childhood setting placements. Professional experience connects the theoretical components of students’ academic studies with the practical aspects of teaching, and provides students with real-life experience to put their learning into practice. Students must meet specific security clearances before participating in a professional experience in any educational setting.

Students in the psychology and counselling master’s programs undertake supervised clinical placements. These placements offer valuable professional experience and the opportunity for students to establish contacts in the field of counselling and psychology.
