Careers & Placements - 'With Placement Year' programmes
32
Students on all undergraduate and integrated masters programmes may apply to spend their third year on a work-based placement facilitated by Careers & Placements. Such students would return to their studies at Stage 3 in the following year, thus lengthening their programme by a year. Successful completion of the placement year and associated assessment allows this to be recognised in programme title, which is amended to include 'with Placement Year' (e.g. BA in XYZ with Placement Year'). The Placement Year also adds a Programme Learning Outcome, concerning employability. (See Careers & Placements for details).
33
In exceptional circumstances, UTC may approve an exemption from the 'Placement Year' initiative. This is usually granted only for compelling reasons concerning accreditation; if the Department already has a Year in Industry with criteria sufficiently generic so as to allow the same range of placements; or if the programme is less than three years in length.
34
Programme excluded from Placement Year?NoIf yes, what are the reasons for this exemption:
35
Study Abroad (including Year Abroad as an additional year and replacement year)
36
Students on all programmes may apply to spend Stage 2 on the University-wide North America/ Asia/ Australia student exchange programme. Acceptance onto the programme is on a competitive basis. Marks from modules taken on replacement years count toward progression and classification.

Does the programme include the opportunity to undertake other formally agreed study abroad activities? All such programmes must comply with the Policy on Study Abroad

41
Additional details:
42
A student can apply to transfer to the "with a year in industry" variant of their degree at any time up, normally up to the end of Stage 1, if a suitable placement can be obtained. A student on any "with a year in industry" route who does not obtain a placement, who does not complete or is deemed otherwise to have failed the placement is transferred to the standard variant.

Transfers at Stage 1:
On successful completion of stage 1, a student may transfer between MEng in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence and BEng/BSc in Computer Science or MEng in Computer Science.

Transfers at Stage 2:
On successful completion of Stage 2, a student may transfer from MEng in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence to Eng* in Computer Science, BEng/BSc in Computer Science.
*NB Students need to achieve an average mark of at least 55% at the end of Stage 2 to continue on any of the MEng programmes.

Restricted transfers:
Transfers between Computer Science programmes and the Computer Science and Mathematics joint degree programmes are not normally permitted, owing to incompatible core modules.

Transfers are not normally permitted after stage 2. However, a student who successfully completes stage 3 of the MEng in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, but fails to achieve the conditions for entry to stage 4 of the MEng in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, or who cannot complete stage 4, or does not pass stage 4 of the MEng in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, is transferred the BSc Computer Systems, an exit-only award (and a route without PSRB accreditation).

ii) Transfers out of the programme will be possible? (please select Y/N) Yes
