We have good links with industry; many companies provide projects and placements for our students every year.

"I was very impressed with the placement system. The PSLP course director arranged a placement for me at MW Kellogg. The placement was excellent, hard work but very rewarding. MW Kellogg didn´t treat me like a student; I was very much treated as an employee of the company. This is was great way of adding experience to my CV while getting a qualification at the same time."
Alex Torres, 2003 – now studying for a PhD in safety critical systems
