I'm in my final year of university and recently was on a 25-work-day (unpaid) placement. Each day I had to travel to and from the school, and I used public transport to do so. Could this be tax deductible? I have records of how much each trip cost as I used my go-card so I could figure out how much money I spent on travel.

No, because you were not earning taxable income - but even if it was a paid position then the travel would be home to work.
