Careers and placements
Will I have a work placement?
The industrial placement lasts approximately one year. This is an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and experience you’ve gained during the first year of the master’s course plus any previous study or experience. You’ll be able to engage with current industrial systems, processes and practices, which contribute to your professional development as a manager in the engineering sector.
Our Faculty Employability Team provides support and guidance. We work with a organisation that specialises in helping students to secure an industrial placement. However, it is your responsibility to secure the placement for your second year. This could be with a local or international employer in a relevant industrial sector.
What sort of careers do graduates pursue?
Graduates from the programme have gone on to secure jobs in food quality assurance, technical management, product development, food policy, inspection and enforcement, food analysis, post-harvest handling and storage, as well as academia and research.
Do you provide employability services?
We have a team dedicated to enhancing student employment outcomes. This includes an Employer Partnerships Manager, who works with companies to provide placement and employment opportunities.
Our team will also help you understand the jobs market, produce effective CVs, and prepare for a graduate job and placement applications in your final year.
