A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take CPE320 Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Departmental Director of Education. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of MEng Chemical Engineering (CPEU39). A student will take CPE320 Year in Industry before proceeding to Level 5.

A student will normally spend the Year in Industry between the third and fourth year of the degree programme. However, with the permission of the Head of Department the student may spend the Year in Industry between the second and third year of the degree programme.

CPE320 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. The Year in Industry will be assessed on a written report and a post-placement 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 Degree of MEng Chemical Engineering (CPEU39).
