GB-BB students spend 6 months on placements and 6 months project work in an industrial milieu.
Among the placement: design and mechanical failure assessments for hip prosthetics for the Asian markets; drafting of regulatory texts for a new silicone impregnated bandage; human skin modelling and toxicity tests for new medicinal molecules.
