Outline Syllabus 

There is no defined syllabus and professional placements are made available by voluntary co-operation of companies and other organisations. The responsibility lies with you to identify the placement opportunity, with support from relevant parts of the University. The placement activity must be agreed by the Division of Peace Studies and International Development. The activities and duties whilst on placement will depend to a large extent on the particular nature of the business/profession whilst on placement.
