Study abroad and Placement

Study abroad (optional)

Employers value graduates who have negotiated their way in the world, experienced different cultures and developed an international perspective.

You can choose to study abroad for a term or for a full year, depending on your course. We offer a huge range of destinations across Asia, Australia, Europe and North, Central and South America. 

Study abroad in Europe is supported through the Erasmus+ scheme, a European Commission initiative. As an Erasmus+ student, you can usually benefit from non-means-tested grants.

Industrial placement (optional)

We offer you the chance to take an industrial placement year as part of your course. The industrial placement provides you with the opportunity to spend a year working in industry, in an area relevant to your course, and to receive a salary.

Your time in industry develops your technical, team-working and transferable skills as you apply what you have learned in your studies to a business environment.

A year in industry is a proven way to fast-track your career and both the Department of Engineering and Design and the University’s Careers and Employability Centre provide you with dedicated placement support. This includes guided preparation early in your course to help you find, secure and succeed in your placement.

Many students who undertake an industrial placement perform better academically on their return to their course and are more likely to secure employment as a direct result of their year in industry.

Year 3:

You’ll work on a two-term individual project focusing on robotics. This includes training in project planning and management.

Taught topics include:

  • autonomous vehicles

  • robot design and implementation

  • control engineering

  • power systems.
