This unit comprises the project component of the Year in Industry, during which the students are directly involved in an approved research project in Industry supervised by a senior staff member of the external organisation and approved by the School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience, as appropriate. The student is a full-time employee of the sponsor company and is subject to the employer’s standard terms of employment, including all secrecy agreements agreed between the company and the University of Bristol. Students will be expected to undertake academic project planning and review tasks in line with company policy; these will be reviewed formally by the industrial supervisor and the academic tutor.
By the end of the unit:
Guided and self-directed project work; research seminars; research group meetings and where appropriate, attendance at external professional conferences.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. PHPHM0012).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
