The extra year will be used for preregistration training.
A case of killing at least 2 birds with a single stone:
1.all graduates guaranteed pre-registration placement.
2.foreign students to pursue internship on a student visa.
3.internship to be supervised by University.
4.students to meet cost of their own internship.
Is there any reason why other universities around the world should not follow suit.
