The commercially relevant and practical nature of our courses as well as the close ties we enjoy with industry significantly enhances our programs. Students undertake a total of 84 weeks industrial attachment at different stages throughout their course with the fourth year of the program focused solely on the workplace. During this time, they assume a position of responsibility within the sponsor's organisation and are expected to perform appropriate tasks. Unlike cadetship programs, there is no obligation for the student to take up employment with an industry sponsor at the completion of the program. Rather, students are able to enjoy the benefits of a close association with industry, gaining valuable skills and experience, without a long-term obligation.
Academic achievement is just one aspect of the selection process.
The links the Faculty has forged with international partners mean you don't have to wait until you're finished your degree to experience the accademic and cultural diversity of another country. Through the Student Exchange and Study Abroad Programs you can choose to study part of your degree overseas at one of our partner institutions. We currently have many exchange agreements with prestigious universities worldwide, and we are continuing to develop other relationships so our students will have an even broader range of schools from which to select. Exchange partners are established in the USA, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Ireland, Wales and Singapore as well as a number of other countries around the world. You can choose to study for one semester or a full year and this period transfers to your degree so you still graduate on time.
