Work Placement
A Work Placement module (minimum of 8 weeks) is available as an elective module in Year 4 of the programme. Students may use appropriate work experience in the summer period between the third and fourth years to complete the module with assessment and credit allocated in Year 4. Third year students are offered guidance, advice and assistance with the necessary arrangements and approval for their work experience proposal in the second semester of Year 3.
All our students were offered placements last summer with an engineering consultancy or a contractor.

Following my 12 weeks at MWP I have learnt, no matter what, that project teamwork plays a vital role in the success of a project’
