Applied learning Work placements You will have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement to start after your second year and before your third year. We highly recommend a placement year as it helps your personal and professional development through real-world experience, and enhances your career prospects once you graduate. During your placement year, you will receive personal and pastoral support from your allocated tutor. Previous students have taken placements with various organisations ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to large multinational corporations such as IBM, BMW, DB Cargo, Boeing, DHL, Intel, Xerox, Disney, VW and Bentley. Live projects As part of your studies, you will be given the opportunity to work on projects alongside external clients. This is an excellent opportunity to put your learning into practice in a real-world setting and further develop your knowledge. These live projects are embedded into modules on all three years of the course and are specifically designed to aid your development through each academic year. In previous years our students have worked alongside local schools and community groups, charities and various businesses. Networking opportunities During your studies on the course, there will be many different networking opportunities available to you. Each year we host a careers fair at which you will have the chance to meet potential future employers to discuss the roles that they offer. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions, seek advice and network with those already working in industry. Working in industry for 12 months during your placement year is another great way of making professional connections and setting up potential future employment opportunities. In addition, the course has developed a vibrant student community where we provide opportunities to get together outside of the classroom. For example, we have weekly sport social activities, pub socials, student-led walks in the nearby peak district and various other events alongside end-of-year celebrations.
