PCert IT Consultancy Either CO843 or (CO534 and CB932) are required. 13B. Programme structures and requirements, levels, modules, credits and awards for the MSc format with an industrial placement Each of the MSc programmes can optionally be combined with an industrial placement. Programmes with an industrial placement are normally only available on a full-time basis. Placements normally commence shortly after the major project has been completed (September) and vary in length from 8 to 50 weeks, extending the MSc programme to between 14 and 24 months. The start date and duration depend on the employer. Placements may be undertaken in the UK or overseas. For the purpose of the credit framework the taught component, project and work placement constitute a single stage. (The varying order and timings make it difficult to apply a progression point.) However, commencement of the placement is conditional on satisfactory progress in the taught component, as determined at the interim examination board in June. A student with resits amounting to more than 30 credits will normally be required to retrieve the credit before beginning a placement. The University does not guarantee every student will find a placement. Those who don't will be transferred to the corresponding MSc programme without a placement. The placement consists of two modules: Industrial Placement Experience (CO903/06/09/12) and Industrial Placement Report (CO902). Four versions of the Experience module exist to cover placements of different lengths. The Experience module is assessed as pass/fail only and the Report module is graded on a percentage scale. To be eligible for the award of an MSc with an Industrial Placement, students must meet the requirements for the award of the MSc without a placement and pass both of the placement modules. Fallback awards (PDip and PCert with an Industrial Placement) follow a similar rule. The award of credit by compensation or condonement is limited to 25% of the modules which contribute towards the taught and project components (180 credits for the MSc). The Industrial Placement modules cannot be compensated, condoned or repeated. However, the examination board may permit resubmission of an Industrial Placement Report if the failure was due to shortcomings in the report itself rather than in the work undertaken during the placement. Any student who fails either of the placement modules (with above exception) will be transferred to the corresponding MSc programme without an Industrial Placement. Programme details are subject to change without notice.
