Project/Placement 3
Description
Students are placed in an appropriate organisation in order to complete a (minimum) 10 week work placement / project. Placements &/ projects must be approved by the academic placement supervisor prior to commencement. The student will be placed under the guidance of a placement / project supervisor from the host company/institute/centre. This placement / project will provide the opportunity for each student to experience physics and/or instrumentation applied in an industrial or academic setting.
It should be noted that the project / placement may be carried out at ATU in an academic and/or research and development setting when facilitation at an external setting is not possible, or in cases where this is a preferential option.
