Is there a minimum mark I will need to achieve in my 1st year?
Students are normally required to achieve a minimum overall weighted average of 50% in year 1 in order to be able to stay on the industrial experience programme in year 2.
If they do not achieve this, they normally revert back to a 3 year degree.
In addition to this, some companies have specific criteria that you will need to achieve in order to apply for their placements, for example, that you are expecting a 2:1 or meet their minimum UCAS points requirement.
You can usually find information about a specific company’s requirements on their website, the time that this information is posted will vary by company; alternatively you can contact the company directly.
