Work Experience Overview
Participants will join AMIC for a three‑day group work experience programme designed to give a practical insight into advanced manufacturing and engineering. During the placement, participants will explore all four of AMIC’s core capability areas: Smart Design, Digital Factory, Nanotechnology and Photonics, and Sustainable Polymers and Composites. 

The programme combines hands‑on activities with state‑of‑the‑art machinery, equipment and industry‑standard CAD and simulation software. Working collaboratively, participants will apply their learning to a real‑life engineering challenge, developing ideas and solutions as a team. The experience culminates in a group project presentation at the end of the programme, helping participants build technical understanding, teamwork and communication skills.
