If you're joining our Medical Imaging programme, you're likely to be spending your third term on clinical placement and this may be at one of our NHS partner sites outside of Exeter. Remember that if you accept an accommodation offer from us, our accommodation contracts run for a specified fixed period, so there will be a period of time during which you will be charged for your accommodation even if you don't live there whilst on placement.
If you have any concerns about the financial implications of this situation, please contact the University of Exeter Medical School for advice.
