Industrial Visits

WMG organises some Industrial Visits to locally-based national and international companies to give you the opportunity to see, at first-hand, industry in action and to learn about their systems, products and processes. Visits planned in previous years have included vehicle manufacturing plants: Jaguar Land Rover, BMW Mini Plant and Morgan Motors, food and drink organisations, Dairy Crest and Two Towers Brewery and fulfilment centres such as Amazon, Argos distribution centre and Britvic Soft Drinks.

Some courses may provide in-module industrial experiences: these are focused and specific to the module topic, your course tutors will explain further details during your module time.

Student-Staff Liaison Committee

SSLCs are student led, and they provide an area for students and staff to discuss ideas and solve problems connected with teaching, learning and student support. SSLCs allow students to have a say on their course, their department, and their resources and is a great way to input into your University. They also provide an opportunity for the department to consult with students and receive feedback on new proposals. Course Reps are elected at the beginning of each academic year by the students the SSLC represents.
