If students hope to transfer to a degree programme then they must study all eight modules in the first year. Semester 4 modules carry the credits indicated. In this module you will spend seven weeks carrying out appropriate work with an outside organisation. Different types of work have been carried out in the various parts of the UK and abroad. In many cases, students who have worked well during their industrial period are subsequently offered vacation work or permanent employment by their placement supervisor.
Assessment is by assignments and examination at the end of the module in most cases.
However assessment of practical skills, scientific skills development, the independent project and the industrial project and the industrial placemnt is entirely based on course work.
