A
YEAR IN INDUSTRY
A Year in Industry is an opportunity to spend a year in employment during your studies, and is available to all undergraduate students studying within the School. It will provide you with invaluable experience in the real working world and will help you develop a range of skills which will make you an attractive candidate for jobs after graduating. There are countless benefits to completing a year in industry; and we’re proud that we can offer placement opportunities as part of all our undergraduate courses. Our Year in Industry degrees are four-year degree programmes, where your third year is spent
working in industry. The12-month placement is a credit-bearing (worth 120 credits), assessed part of a 4 year degree programme. This means that your performance on the assessment and completion of the placement will have an impact on your final degree classification, just as a year of taught modules would.
OUR EMPLOYER LINKS INCLUDE Although securing a placement is the responsibility of the student, we work with a number of organisations who provide a range of placement opportunities. If you are unable to secure a placement by the end of the second year of your studies you will transfer onto the equivalent degree programme.
Whilst on my work placement during my Year in Industry I completely evolved as an individual and as a professional. I developed so many valuable skills and my confidence soared! I completely changed from a shy person to confident, independent and a determined woman. I learned new core skills such as networking and I gained experience in a professional environment such as: working on photoshoots, becoming part of a team, and leading meetings across Europe! I would recommend this course to prospective students. It is such a fun, practical degree that provides so many useful insights and the constant support provided by the lecturers is so reassuring.
