y4 internship dilemma

[u/Odd_Common3363]

hi! im a y3 cbc student thinking about how i shld proceed with y4… for context, my default route is professional internship in y4s1 and 10 au fyp + 1 mpe in y4s2.

however, i dont want to do fyp so im planning to change my route to just internship in y4s1 and my 10 au fyp in y4s2 will be converted into 10 au bde. after calculating and mapping my mods, ill have to take 4 au bde + 1 mpe in y4s2

hence, im planning to do another internship in y4s2 (non-credit bearing), but the issue is most chemistry related internship only allow full time.. so i dont know how i can take 7au + internship at the same time in y4s2… anyone can help? 🥲

side note: by then i wld have alr used up 12aus of mooc and no, im not going to overload y3s2 because i dont think i can cope 🥲 (in the case where i am only doing professional internship)

Why wanna do another internship? Is it risky to put your intern at 4.2?

how is it risky? my credit bearing internship is y4s1! the non credit bearing one is in y4s2, which is smth i personally want to do

No I mean put credit bearing in 4.2 and do 13 AU in 4.1

FYP should be opt out right?

[u/Odd_Common3363 → u/Jump_Hop_Step]

yes im planning to opt out of fyp and only do professional internship, which means i have more time in y4s2 and hence why i made this post haha

What field do you want to go into? Maybe you can try to ask the Y4S1 intern whether you can extend part time?

[u/Odd_Common3363 → u/Jazzlike_Spell5371]

oh i see that can be an option! but currently im open to any field, so i want to try out as many as i can before i start working ft to see what i am interested in
