Abstract
A Rural Student Unit was established as a pilot project to trial a model of rural fieldwork placement provision. The Unit aimed to increase the number of student placements available in rural areas and provide undergraduate students with a positive fieldwork experience. The results indicate that the Unit was successful in overcoming some of the barriers to rural fieldwork, for both students and supervisors, and substantially increased the number of students undertaking fieldwork in this area. The results support the further trialing and expansion of the model.
