Offer letter and Placement Year

Hello,
I've received offer letters from Staffordshire University and the University of East London. I applied through an agent. Neither offer letter mentions a placement year, and the Master's duration is listed as 1 year. How can I tell if a placement year is included? I know I can ask the agent or universities directly, but are there clues within the offer letters themselves?

Are these postgraduate or undergraduate courses?
Sounds like your agent ripped you off and didn’t apply for the courses you asked for.

Hi @HoiMuzister
It's definitely worth contacting our enquiries team - [email protected] to understand what Masters course you have applied for. If it's only 1 year, it sounds like there would be no placement or a much shorter placement.
Best wishes, Shaun

Hi,
It would definitely be best to contact our enquiries team - [email protected] to make sure you are applying to the right Masters for you. If your letter says a 1-year duration, it sounds like there is no placement or a much shorter placement. Best wishes, Shaun
