GS517: Industry Placement 2
Semester 1 and Semester 2 | Credits: 10
The student should only register for this module in the academic year that they intend to complete the module. Students may have an opportunity to visit an appropriate workplace outside NUI Galway to gain work-related research experience. Such opportunities are limited and are only possible when arranged by the student’s supervisor and agreed with the host organisation. It is recommended that a supervisor in the host organisation is involved in planning the specific learning outcomes for the student along with the student’s NUI Galway supervisor. These learning outcomes must be appropriate to the period of the work-based placement. A reflective journal should be maintained by the student to record their learning experience on this module. The student’s experience must be described in a written report and in an oral presentation in the host organisation and/or a NUI Galway audience on their return (within two months). It is also expected that the supervisor in the host organisation will report to the NUI Galway supervisor on the student’s activities during the placement. The minimum placement period is two months.
