Why is a placement/Professional Pathway compulsory for some degrees?
Quite simply, for two of our degrees industrial experience is required to meet their educational aims. For example, Business Computing Systems meets its aim of producing graduates who can bridge business and technology if its graduates have spent time in the IT industry and seen at first-hand how a business operates. Similarly, Software Engineering graduates are suitably educated in how to develop large-scale software systems if they have had practical experience of how software is developed and used in industry. The remaining degrees do not require a placement to meet their aims as they are more focused on the technology itself. That said, we strongly encourage students to take the option of a placement as we believe that they are highly beneficial in themselves.
