Placements
After successfully completing level two, our students are provided with the opportunity to undertake an Industrial Placement. A placement year allows students to enhance their knowledge and develop transferable skills. It also provides the opportunity to contribute and utilise the subject knowledge acquired during the first two levels of their programme.
