Description
Module comprises a placement year taken after the first two years of study. Through the module, students will obtain practical experience of employment in industry related to their area of study. Students will be encouraged to put into practice the theoretical knowledge and skills developed during the first two years of their academic programme; explore challenges that they, their organisation, or the industry faces; and critically reflect on their experiences. The placement year will provide students with real-life experiences that can be used to underpin theoretical learning on return to their final year.

Apply knowledge and skills of economics to problem solve, communicate and think critically within a work environment
Critically reflect on the application of theoretical knowledge and skills of economics to a work environment
