The placement is undertaken between the taught part of the course and the dissertation; and will usually be 4 months in duration from May/June to September. Our MSc Computer Science with Professional Practice offers the option of going on a placement, which can be paid or unpaid. Placement students are valuable to employers and many of our placements are paid. All applications are on a competitive basis and students secure positions through their own efforts. Some assistance in preparation for applying for placements will be provided, however the employer has the final say.
