Students on professional programmes
Students on professional programmes often have a very different experience of university.
You may find that you are in class for longer days and if you are on placement, will have more responsibilities that many other students.
For you, looking after yourself and ensuring that you eat well, rest and get good sleep, will be even more important. At times it may feel that the demands of your course mean that you do not have time to exercise, socialise and take time out. However, if you do not give some time over to these things, then in the long run you may find yourself burning out and your academic performance may suffer.
You can find advice and guidance on how to look after your wellbeing here.
Your course may also place some additional requirements on you - you may for instance have to meet certain criteria to prove that your are fit to practice before going on placement. You can find details of our fitness to practice policy here.
