8th stop - The University of Sheffield
OK so it’s not technically in the Midlands, but a long drive north - via country roads thanks to a horsebox crashing on the M1! - took us to the University of Sheffield.
Without a traditionally huge focus around placements, we aim to work closely with the staff at Sheffield to increase the quantity of work placements at such a prestigious UK university…
