To allow students to experience employment within organizations related to their chosen course.
To enable students to relate knowledge, skills and techniques which are studied on the course to the work context.
To allow students to practise a range of technical and social skills covered on the course.
To gain experience and maturity to support their academic studies.
To encourage students to develop contacts with potential employers and to construct work experience profiles commensurate with the demands of future employers.
 SWE Rationale
The placement is normally 48 weeks in duration during which time the students receive at least 1 visit from the SWE visiting tutor.  The student will normally be allocated a workplace mentor who will ease the student&#39;s integration into the organization, and take responsibility for the student&#39;s supervision.
The actual content of the SWE placement will vary depending on the specific background and demands of individual students and the opportunities available within differing employing organizations.
