Industrial attachment is an essential part of a student’s academic programme. It normally lasts for a period of 3 months. A student is supposed to be attached to a company or organization that offers services that are related to the student’s course of study.

At the end of the attachment, the student is required to write a report that is about 20 pages (We have provided an example of how to write one  (here sample)

Below are the  basic industrial attachment terms;
