We offer Industrial Experience options on all our full-time taught MSc programmes, which combine academic study with a one-year industrial placement between your taught modules and summer project. Taking the Industrial Experience option as part of your degree gives you a route to develop real-world, practical problem-solving skills gained through your programme of study in a professional context. This can give you an important edge in the graduate job market. As a leading research School, we have excellent links with industry. We also employ dedicated staff to help you arrange your year in industry. The Industrial Experience programmes are highly competitive and attract the best students given the limited availability of placements. We are unable to guarantee all students secure an industrial placement, as our industrial partners conduct their own employment application and interview processes.

The broad range of skills gained through programmes in this School, coupled with multiple opportunities for extra-curricular activities and work experience, has enabled postgraduates to move into careers such as: Technical Analyst, Credit Suisse Interactive Systems Developer, Sky Software Developer, Accenture Analyst Technical Associate, Bank of America Merrill Lynch IT Contractor, FDM Computer Analyst, ITRS Group IT Developer, Qube Global Software Team Manager, Bromley-by-Bow Centre Computer Programmer, Rightmove Computer Consultant, Mac Experts Ltd Graduate Engineer, Ministry of Defence.
