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 of Management. 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 four-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 final year of your degree programme.
The experiences and the people I have met in my year in industry have been the best part of my placement. I was very lucky to be a part of two incredible teams and be able to learn from such incredible minds and be given opportunities and experiences I never would’ve had otherwise.
