What placements can Rossie offer to students?

We offer a variety of placements to undergraduate and postgraduate students to help them gain experience of a work environment. Rossie also benefits from the fresh approaches and ideas students bring to working with young people. We have accepted placements from local and national colleges and universities including Dundee and Angus College, Robert Gordon University, and North East College for placements in our Care, Education and Specialist Interventions Services. All of our placements accept students who are studying at HNC level up to Degree level qualifications. 

We offer opportunities for students to complete Psychology and Social work placements, within our Specialist Intervention Services team. Previously, we have welcomed students from Edinburgh Napier University, the University of Dundee, the University of Nottingham and Robert Gordon University. During placements, our students can work on a one to one basis with young people, write professional reports and attend professional meetings. They also participate in Specialist Intervention Service team meetings – enabling them to experience and learn about working in a holistic environment.

Placements can also be offered to those studying doctorate level psychology courses in clinical or forensic areas. Our Chartered Psychologist at Rossie can supervise students throughout the placement.
