UG Year in Industry (COMP299): 2020-2021
This web site is primarily for students on their year in
placement. The university is commited to supporting you during your
placement and recognises there may be additional pressures due to
COVID and (perhaps short term) changes that the Government or
local authorities may introduce, and how your company reacts.
Please ensure you keep us up to date regarding your
working conditions during this COVID-19 crisis by emailing
R.Ibsen-Jensen@liverpool.ac.uk
with any changes (such as switching from working from home to going in to an office, and particularly if your
address or other contact details change). We treat this
information in confidence but need it in case we need to contact
you quickly.
