About This Opportunity

The Placement Bursary Initiative is a non-means tested bursary funded by donations from Keele supporters, designed to support students completing placements during academic years 2025/26 and 2026/27, and up to August 2027. The bursary is available for both curricular and extra-curricular placements brokered by the University. Students undertaking a placement from any year can receive the bursary, which is paid in a single instalment. A brokered placement refers to an extra-curricular placement opportunity where the University has actively supported the process, including helping to design the job description, organizing interviews, facilitating discussions between the student and employer, and ensuring that both parties agree on the placement terms. The bursary is available for both paid and unpaid placements, though students from the Faculty of Health and those taking mandatory placements are ineligible. The amount received depends on placement duration: placements lasting 360-504 hours receive £200, while placements exceeding 504 hours receive £500.
