Placement choices adult nursing

Can you request specific placements during a nursing course (standard Bsc, in Scotland if that makes a difference)? I want to work in A&E after I graduate and would love to get a relevant placement, I have A&E experience but only as an HCA/nursing assistant and I feel having a placement there as part of my degree would help me stand out on job applications. I know it's not guaranteed and obviously placements are dependent on what's available but can I state this as a preference and will they make some effort to accommodate it if possible? Thanks!

There is only one time you can request a placement: for your final placement. This is then only a request and is not guaranteed. Everything else is allocated by the university and you don't get a say in this unless there's very exceptional circumstances; "I don't fancy doing that" or "I'd rather go there" don't count at all. This goes for the entire UK.
