25. Projects in this year include computer-aided design of reactors and process control, the use of computer-controlled pilot plants and further laboratory work.
26. You typically spend this year at a partner university abroad unless you are on the exchange in France, the Netherlands or Sweden.
27. The main difference from the standard course (H801) is that language tuition will normally be substituted for some topics. If you are fluent in the language on entry, you will be expected to follow the standard course prior to going abroad.
28. For those destinations where instruction is in a foreign language, you will have to demonstrate a satisfactory level of proficiency in French/German/Spanish six months before the planned start of the year abroad. You will also be expected to have maintained at least a 2:1 degree standard academically for any of the exchange destinations.
29. There is competition for the limited number of exchange places to the USA, Australia, and Singapore. You are therefore not guaranteed a place on these exchanges even if you are enrolled on the Year Abroad course.
30. The modules to be taken at the partner university will closely match the course structure of the third year undertaken by students at Imperial.
31. Advanced Chemical Engineering Practice \x96 industrial internship or a research project (lasting for one or two terms)
32. Advanced Chemical Engineering Design Practice \x96 a major plant design project
33. Mastery for Engineers
34. Students returning from a year abroad may be required to take certain mandatory modules from the third year curriculum if they are required for accreditation purposes (e.g. in process safety) and they could not fulfil this requirement at the partner university.
