ACSU44 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Departmental Director of Education (or their designate). The Year in Industry will be assessed using: (a) a short written report; (b) a post-placement poster/presentation. No grades will be awarded for the Year in Industry which will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the MEng Computer Systems Engineering (ACSU02).
