Industry

As part of your degree, you can choose to register for a Year In Industry/Research. This scheme allows you to spend a year undertaking a placement (usually paid) in industry. At a much reduced fee cost, this is an opportunity to gain more practical experience in aspects of your degree that you are particularly interested in. It will allow you to profile yourself above and beyond the limitations of the basic degree to enhance your position in the employment market. Dedicated coordinators will provide support to help you finding placements and during your placement. To find out more, contact Laurence Bugeon l.bugeon@imperial.ac.uk 

Recruiting students via an Industrial Placement is one of the most effective ways of attracting world-class candidates upon graduation. We welcome new placement and internship opportunities. 

A number of our undergraduate students have registered on Year in Industry/Research degrees. This scheme allows them to spend their third year working in industry from September/October until July /August, providing them with experience in project-based research before they return to study for their final year.

Only our top students are allowed to go on placement years, ensuring that all parties benefit.

Students are attracted to the scheme for a number of reasons including:

a)the opportunity to gain more practical experience in aspects of their degree that they are particularly interested in.

b)the opportunity to sample the whole experience of working on a scientific project in a professional environment.

c) the opportunity to profile themselves above and beyond the limitations of the basic degree so as to enhance their position in the employment
