Placement Year Students have the option of undertaking a year in industry immediately following completion of the Year 2 studies or delaying by one semester and entering their placement experience in March. The Placement year offers a valuable first hand experience of the working environment in which students can choose their initial career choice. Students are visited by tutors during the placement year. Each specialism develops its own identify throughout the third year. Students completing both semesters in Year 3 may exit the course with the award of BSc Engineering in their chosen discipline.
Continuous assessment forms a major part of the assessment process used in earlier years.
Emphasis on project activity is strong for both group and individual projects.
