Year in Industry
All undergraduate students have the opportunity to undertake an optional Year in Industry placement between their second and third year of study. Students are employed by a business whilst remaining a student of the University. Students are responsible for sourcing and applying for placements but the University support them in their search and the application process.
A Year in Industry is a fantastic opportunity for a student to enhance their employability prospects, develop new skills sought after by employers, trial a career role and apply academic knowledge in an industrial setting.
