1. Ability to work effectively in the software industry

The module will involve the student in finding paid employment in the software industry between their first and second taught semester of the Masters course. The placement will be assessed through report from the industrial supervisor, and report by the student.

The module gives Masters students the opportunity of adding a short period of supervised industrial experience to their degree. This should significantly improve their employability.

During the first taught part of the Masters course, students will be supported by the Department in finding and applying for appropriate posts in the Software industry. The post will commence after the Masters examinations in May, and will last for 3-4 months.

The student will have an academic supervisor, and the company will be asked to identify someone as the industrial supervisor.

The student will be visited at their industrial post once during the summer by the academic supervisor (this may be run differently where students are overseas). The academic supervisor will meet with both the student and the industrial supervisor to find out how the placement is progressing.

At the end of the placement, the student and the industrial supervisor will each write a report detailing how the placement went. The student's report will be assessed for critical evaluation, as well as its details of what was achieved. The industrial supervisor's report will only be used as part of the demonstration of the student's ability to build software effectively.
