Students spend their final year on an industrial placement, externally to Liverpool, either working at a company or institution in the UK or globally. Students will be given opportunities and gain confidence to apply theory and practical skills in in a wider context. During the placement, the student will be expected to write a literature review and a final report, but the majority of the year will be spent concentrating on the industrial placement. These activities will provide opportunities to develop the student’s transferable skills and professional competence leading to enhanced employability.
