All our Architectural Engineering students are given the opportunity to undertake industrial training. Most placements are fully salaried, with typical salaries from £17,000 to £22,000.
You will be supported by dedicated staff in securing a placement that best suits your skills and professional aspirations. This year of practical experience gives you a clearer understanding of the industry to help with the later stages of your studies and deciding your future career direction.
During the placement year, your employer will nominate an experienced member of their team who will supervise you. You will also be visited by your University tutor at your place of work and will be required to write reports on your progress and experience.
Please note that whilst the Department offers great support for students to find a placement, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to source and secure their industrial placement.
Additional award
This course comes with the option to undertake an industrial placement for a year, at the end of which you will gain a Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS). This is an additional award to the final qualification you will receive once you have successfully completed this course.
