Students may use general office space and office equipment during the five days’ work experience placement with an external organisation to gain experience and observation on activities involving translation and/or interpreting. There is no formal contract applicable. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement between the School and the external organisation. During the period of placement, the University has appropriate liability protections that protect the student and the University in the event that the student, during the course of the activity, becomes legally liable for injury, to any person, or damage to property caused by their negligent act, related to the activity (other than property damage arising from the use of a motor vehicle). As an enrolled student of the University, the Student Personal Accident Insurance covers the student for personal injury.
