Year in industry

We give our undergraduate students the option of a year in industry prior to commencing the final year of their degree programme. This provides employers with a useful source of talent: innovative, ambitious students who are most of the way through their BCS-accredited studies.

What is a degree with a year in industry?

Degrees with a year in industry are degree programmes that last 4 years and where the students complete a period of employment between their second and final years of study. The modules taken by the students are the same as in the corresponding degrees without the year in industry option. Industrial placements typically run from summer to summer, with the earliest start in mid-June and the latest in September. Students are paid by their employers and the placement year is an integral part of the degree course, is formally assessed and contributes to the final degree classification.
