The EMY aims to provide, via an industrial placement, experience which is directly relevant to the student's degree programme. This course may only be taken in the penultimate year of the candidate's degree programme.

The placement must be approved by the Department and by the Faculty Teaching Committee, which will make sure that adequate, identifiable supervision and training are provided by the host company, that adequate supervision is provided by the student’s home department, and that the student’s plan of work for the year is related to his/her field of study and of adequate level.

Upon completion of his/her placement, the student will complete a report, which shall be submitted to the host company for approval and to the student’s home department for assessment. The assessment is Pass or Fail.

This module is taken by students who wish to break their studies at the end of their penultimate year and spend a year working in industry. They are required to find a placement relevant to their degree and to write a detailed report on their experiences. Marks for the report are worth 30 credits and appear in the student’s transcripts but have no weighting toward the degree classification. Approval for the placement has to be agreed in advance by both the department and the Faculty Tutor. Students should in the first instance discuss their application with the undergraduate programme director. In the past students have found work placements at AECOM and Mott MacDonald
