Final Year Project

 Foundation (Optional)

This course is available as a degree with foundation year, which is a four-year program that offers an extra foundation year at the start of the degree. This additional year will give you the academic and practical experience you need, along with the skills you need to make sure you are prepared to finish your chosen degree.

Placement Year (Optional)

To increase your employability even more, this course gives all students the opportunity of a one-year paid work placement. If you decide to go this path, you will return to finish your degree after taking the placement exam after the second year of your course.

What makes taking a placement necessary?

A placement year is the ideal way to complement the job skills we will teach you in this degree program with useful work experience. The contacts you create throughout the placement will further enhance your professional opportunities and provide you with the tools required to land graduate-level work.

How we assist you

The Placement and Work Experience Team at the University is highly skilled in assisting you in obtaining a placement. From the beginning, they will collaborate directly with you to help you find placement opportunities, investigate possible employers, prepare and present your resume, and receive interview coaching. Although we cannot promise a placement, our industry-leading consultants will increase your chances of getting one.

Study Abroad (Optional)

In your second semester of your second year, you might choose to study abroad as part of this course toward your degree.

You might study abroad for a semester at any of our partner universities in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, or Europe with Roehampton Abroad scholarships of up to £1,000 and money from the Turing Scheme.
