Industrial Placements in UK and Europe

• We strongly recommend the optional placement year. Although not a compulsory

part of your course, the placement year is an invaluable addition to your academic studies:

• Placements can provide valuable and interesting experience in a real

engineering environment.

• An overseas placement lets you experience a different culture and, perhaps,

language.

• A year's work experience improves your employability after graduation, and, in

some cases, the placement company offers sponsorship during the final year and a job on graduation.

• Industrially relevant programmes
• Career pathways for BEng to MEng
• Outstanding laboratory facilities
• Fully accredited courses
• Excellent career prospects once graduated
