Wei Lei - Architectural Technology

Wei chose to take the Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP ) as part of his study route on the BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology and Practice course.

What is the DPP?

This course gives you the opportunity to go on a gap year to gain work experience whilst you're on your degree course. This will allow you to gain the skills and relevant work experience employers in your industry are looking for, enhancing your employment prospects when you graduate.

 

This is an additional qualification that will sit between the second and final year of your degree offering valuable experience in the workplace whilst on your work placement.

 

Where did you do the DPP?

Millar Management in Shardlow

What did you do whilst on the DPP?

I was introduced to a lot of architectural work and helped with drawings and designing details

 Would you recommend the DPP to others students?

I would definitely recommend the DPP to other students, I learnt an enormous amount whilst on placement. It's a chance to put the theory into practice so you understand more about the academic side of everything.

What did you personally get out of the DPP?

I now understand more about my future career and what I want to do. I also gained valuable skills through my placement. I have been working 2 and half days a week at Millar Management whilst completing my final year. Once I have graduated, I will have the possibility to work full time with them.
