Work Placements
Gain practical experience
During your degree you can complete a 15-credit placement module during your second year if you secure work in a relevant company, or apply for a paid year-long industrial placement.
Industrial placement years usually take place between your second and third years of study so you can spend one year working with a company before returning to the University to complete your degree. This effectively extends your studies by one year. We will support you in finding and applying for a suitable placement, but we are unable to guarantee placements.
Gaining industry experience during your degree will give you the opportunity to put your studies into practice and use the skills you develop on your course. Your placements will help to improve your CV and show employers that you have already completed work in industry when you graduate.
Study Abroad
You may complete an international or European exchange as part of your studies. You may choose to undertake an exchange for one semester or a whole year at one of our partnership institutions.
