About modules

The above is a sample of the typical modules we offer, but is not intended to be construed or relied on as a definitive list of what might be available in any given year. This content was last updated on Thursday 25 January 2024. Due to timetabling availability, there may be restrictions on some module combinations.

In general, my placement gave me real world experience in my field of study and network opportunities within a global and well recognised company, as well as valuable and highly applicable skills that are not as easily found in a university environment.
