BEng Mechanical Engineering with a Year in Industry

UCAS Code: H305

Relevant work experience can help you stand out in a crowded graduate jobs market and our MEng and BEng courses with a year in industry give you the opportunity to gain valuable industrial experience as part of your degree programme. You’ll spend a year on placement with a company of your choice, helping you to put your academic studies into context, as well as improving your technical skills and employability.

Placements usually take place in the third year of a BEng degree and the fourth year of an MEng degree, with students then returning to Sheffield to complete their final year.

Students are responsible for finding their own placements but the department offers support and guidance to help you find the right position, as well as to get the most out of your placement. Salaries for placement students range from £11,000-£21,000, though they are typically between £14,000 and £16,000.
