A student will take

Full academic year
BIE390	Bioengineering Year in Industry	ACAD YR	120 credits

A student must normally achieve a weighted mean grade of 55 or above at Level 1 and Level 2 in order to proceed to the Year in Industry, progression being at the discretion of the Bioengineering Board of Examiners. A student who fails to progress may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20) or, at the discretion of the Bioengineering Board of Examiners, for the Degree of MEng Bioengineering (BIEU19).

A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take BIE390 Bioengineering Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Bioengineering Director of Undergraduate Studies. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20). A student will take BIE390 Year in Industry before proceeding to Level 3.

BIE390 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 Bioengineering Director of Undergraduate Studies. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20).
