Year 3

Core These are a compulsory part of your degree: you cannot change them. units (120 credits)

A student will take

Full academic year
MAT395	Year in Industry	ACAD YR	120 credits

A student must achieve a weighted mean grade of 60 or above at Level 1 and Level 2 in order to proceed to the Year in Industry, progression being at the discretion of the Head of Department. A student who fails to progress may be permitted to become instead a candidate for the Degree of BEng Materials Science & Engineering (Industrial Management) (MATU27).

Before proceeding to Level 3 a candidate shall participate in a Skills Week (including industrial visits), the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Head of Department.

A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take MAT395 Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Head of Department. A student who fails to obtain a placement will instead be required to become a candidate for the Degree of BEng Materials Science & Engineering (Industrial Management) (MATU27).

MATXXX 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 Head of Department. The Year in Industry will be assessed using (a) written reflections on a skills-based placement journal; (b) two written reports; and (c) 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 candidate for the Degree of BEng Materials Science & Engineering (Industrial Management) (MATU27).
