Apply for support

Our Placement Scheme offers support to OOC DTP students who have secured a placement with an external organisation. To apply for this support, you will need to:

  1. Talk to your supervisor about the opportunity - they will need to approve any time away from your studies.
  2. Let the OOC DTP team know that you have been offered a placement via an established scheme or that an organisation has agreed to host you on a placement. Email us on training@oocdtp.ac.uk.
  3. Complete and submit an application for a placement extension and/or associated expenses. Make sure you use the correct application form.
  4. If approved by the DTP, complete your university's requirements for a placement;
  5. Submit feedback and a report within one month of completing your placement.

Any questions? Get in touch with the OOC DTP team on training@oocdtp.ac.uk.
