A
YEAR IN INDUSTRY
A Year in Industry is an opportunity to spend a year in employment during your studies. 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. Although securing a placement is the responsibility of the student, we work with a number of organisations who provide a range of placement opportunities.
Our Year in Industry degrees are four-year degree programmes, where your third year is spent working in industry. The 12 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. 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.
OUR EMPLOYER LINKS INCLUDE
I undertook a placement in the Senedd Cymru/Welsh Parliament as part of a Member’s support staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the placement along with the tasks I completed, and I really felt like I was a part of the full-time staff, whilst on placement. It made me realise that this is an avenue of employment I would really like to pursue and the experience has given me some excellent connections that will assist me in my future pursuits.
