The main aims of this course are to provide students with practical experience that complements their academic studies, and to give Sponsors enthusiastic and talented young achievers who may wish to work with them upon graduation. This is second of two fully-assessable industry placements courses. It builds on skills and experience gained in COMM3101.

The broad objectives are:

• Provide scholars with knowledge and practical experience within the business environment that cannot be provided at university.

• Help develop the scholars’ professional skills. Specifically, scholars should develop their intellectual, technical, personal, interpersonal, communication, and business management skills while on placement.
• Apply theory and skills learnt across the scholars degree in a real-world environment.
• Through progressive self-reflection scholars should become more confident in their strenghts and increase their self-perception.
