We’ll also give you plenty of opportunities to work in the field, with visits to galleries, museums, and places of worship across London. You’ll have the option in year two to take an extra placement at school for children with special educational needs and disabilities, while in year three you’ll have the opportunity to study abroad in Australia, USA or Europe.
