Reports on the training are made by the student, the company and the visiting academic and on the basis of these reports the student's performance is assessed and this assessment is taken into account at the end of the course when decisions regarding the class of degree to be awarded are being made. Further information about industrial training is available from our Industrial Training Office . The time spent in the University is organised into three parts and the subjects are grouped into modules. The options available may change from year to year. Extended Essay Students undertake a special study on a topic to be agreed by them and their Essay Supervisors.
Teaching Students attend lectures and participate in tutorials and seminars.
The lectures in Process and Food Engineering are supported by practical work in the processing laboratory, and other classes include workshops e.g. in Quantitative Methods. There is a formal written examination at the end of Part 1. Students must pass this in order to progress through the rest of the course. In the event of failure in the first attempt each subject may be retaken once. There is no formal examination at the end of Part 2.
