If you are registered for a wIE programme you remain a student during the time you spend in industry. This means that you are entitled to all the normal benefits - a library card, access to facilities in the University, rail cards etc. The Department will monitor your progress during the year. It will require reports about what you are doing and learning, and feedback from your employer about your progress. A tutor from the department will also normally make a visit to your workplace to see and hear about, first-hand, what you are doing.
