Details about course variation options.

UCAS code: FC17

The 'with industrial experience' degree programme accommodates an industrial placement year during the third year of the degree, making a four year degree overall.

You'll spend a year working on a research project in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical sectors, gaining valuable experience, improving personal and transferable skills, making new contacts and enhancing your employability.

We have established collaborations with local, national and multinational companies, and have successfully placed students within multinational organisations.

Previous placement destinations include:

During your year in industry you are paid by the company and take two modules: Learning from Industrial Experience and Industrial Placement and Report. You will have regular contact with an academic supervisor in addition to an industrial supervisor at the company.

It is your responsibility to decide which placements will be suitable for you financially. We present ideas of paid placements and those that have a stipend and/or accommodation.

If you spend a full year on a work placement (in the UK or abroad) you will pay a reduced fee. Find out more information.

You can apply to BSc Biological and Medicinal Chemistry with Industrial Experience directly through UCAS. Once at Exeter, progression to the Industrial Experience year is dependent upon successful completion of your Year 1 studies, with an average mark of at least 60%.

The placements are sought during the second year of study and commence the following October. You are responsible for applying for positions, with direct guidance from the Industrial Placements Co-ordinator.
