No, you will not be entitled to claim travel costs under any circumstances when attending a placement on the same base site as your university. Cost is not a factor, travel claims are not refundable when travelling to the same base site.

Example

You normally travel to university using public transport. If public transport is not available and you have to use a different form of transport to get to your placement you cannot claim for any additional costs incurred for any of these journeys.
