About the Programme
What is 2U1I?
2U1I stands for 2 years in University and 1 Year in Industry, a model designed to intensify industry exposure and produce workforce-ready graduates. Students have the option to pursue the Work-Based Learning (WBL) pathway, which includes a 1-year industry placement. This allows students to earn academic credits while gaining hands-on experience, developing industry-specific skills and enhancing their employability prospects.
Eligibility for WBL
- Completion of ALL Year 1 and 2 subjects, including MPU requirements.
- Fulfilment of any additional requirements specified by industry partners.
