Additional information Entry Requirements (including IELTS score) The entry requirements for the award are normally: All applicants are individually assessed on their qualifications, skills and experience. However, a typical entry requirement is 260 UCAS tariff points (three A-levels or BTEC National Diploma). You should have passed GCSE Mathematics and English at grade C or above. For applicants from overseas, the required IELTS score is currently 6.0, but this may be raised in light of new UKBA guidance. More information can be found at: http://www.staffs.ac.uk/courses_and_study/undergraduate_courses/entry_requirements/ Disability Statement <strong>Staffordshire</strong> University operates a policy of inclusive teaching and learning to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to fulfil their educational potential. Details about how to apply to have your needs assessed can be found at: http://www.staffs.ac.uk/courses_and_study/disabled_students/index.jsp 8
Award-specific information Your award is regulated by the Undergraduate Modular Framework, which can be accessed at: http://www.staffs.ac.uk/current/regulations/academic/index.php Industrial placement We strongly encourage every student to enrol on the sandwich version of the award, which includes a year of supervised work placement. The assessment of the industrial placement does not contribute to the degree classification directly, but, generally, the skills and confidence gained during the placement are of great value in enhancing your academic performance in the final year, as well as giving valuable professional experience. The industrial placement normally requires the completion of 48 weeks in relevant supervised work experience taken between Level 5 and Level 6. However, exceptionally for placements in School environments (where the nature of the employment precludes the completion of 48 weeks), the completion of 36 weeks is acceptable. Normally, if you are enrolled on a sandwich award, you must pass the sandwich year to progress to Level 6. However, in exceptional circumstances the completion of the industrial placement may be deferred until after the completion of Level 6. Where this occurs you will still be required to pass an industrial placement before you can be awarded a sandwich degree. If you fail the industrial placement period, you will only be allowed one further attempt. The referral attempt must normally occur within 18 months. Failure at the referral attempt will mean that you cannot further progress on a sandwich award. You would have to transfer onto an appropriate non-sandwich full-time award in order to continue. The placement period cannot be compensated. To be eligible for the award of an Honours degree with a sandwich, you must pass the industrial placement period.
