We'll also support you in building lifelong learning skills so you can take ownership of your professional development for the future and maximise your potential for success.The University will offer lots of support to help you find a placement with a relevant company in preparation for your year in industry (the industrial placement takes place between the second and final years of this four-year course). Through our relationships with employers, we'll share placement adverts as they become available, and you can also seek your own placement. Our placement team will help with applications and interview skills. Your placement does not have to be in the local area – it could be elsewhere in the UK.

If you're unsuccessful in securing a placement, you'll be able to transfer directly to the final year of study and complete your degree in three years.
