Industrial placements are programmes intended for students to take some time and learn about a job or sector instead of studying. It's a great way for you to develop your professional aptitude and competence and incorporate this into your degree programme.

Many degrees offer a year in industry, sometimes called an industrial placement or sandwich year. This opportunity allows undergraduates to spend a year of their studies working within the industry of their chosen subject. This year is typically taken in your third year of undergraduate studies.
