Students spend a period working in an industrial, commercial, public sector or similar setting, applying and enhancing the skills and techniques they have developed and studied earlier during their MSc programme. The work is undertaken under the direction of their industrial supervisor, but support is provided by the Employability and Placements Team. This support includes ensuring that the work they are being expected to do is such that they can meet the learning outcomes of the module.
Participation in the placement year, and hence in this module, is dependent on students obtaining an appropriate placement, for which support and guidance is provided through the Employability and Placements Team. It is also dependent on satisfactory achievement in their academic studies.
Students who do not obtain a placement will be required to transfer to the appropriate course without an Industrial Placement.
