Students are assessed through an end-of-placement report and a poster presentation. The placement report covers the following areas: skills development appraisal, description of the placement’s business and organisation, a reflective account of the activities undertaken during the placement, and a portfolio of evidence. The poster presentation is an opportunity to summarise the highlights from the placement experience. Students on placement are monitored continuously through regular contact with the Employability Team, an academic who is their Industrial Placement Tutor, and the workplace supervisor. All elements of assessment must be of a passing standard in order to pass the year.
Errors, omissions, failed links etc should be notified to the Catalogue Team
