The course is available as a four-year sandwich course, where you can undertake a one-year industrial placement. It effectively becomes a third year of a four-year course. Placements are generally paid and are an excellent opportunity to put your learning into practice and understand the context for your new knowledge. The contacts made during placements can also be valuable for future job offers. We'll support you at every stage of the placement process, from finding suitable placements, to checking that everything is going well, and to making a final assessment of your performance during the placement.
