This module is a major part of the 2-year MSc programme with a year in industry. It worths 60 credits. The project should take place in year 2 during the placement, typically from Sept to next May for a minimum of 30 weeks.
An earlier starting date is allowed which is subject to the agreement between the University and the company involved.
The module will be assessed by an interim report, oral presentation and final thesis. The student will be supervised by a university supervisor as well as an industrial supervisor.
This module aims at developing the student’s ability to undertake a industrial project in a real world environment successfully with limited supervision. The student is expected to apply the knowledge learnt from the university in practice and also expected to gain significant knowledge and skills from the industry, thus the employability of the student should be much enhanced.
