Services for students
Current students
There are several opportunities to gain workplace experience as part of, or in addition to, your university studies. Work placements may not have academic credit attached, but are valuable in providing exposure to workplaces, practices and contacts that can be invaluable when you are seeking a job. Internships, industry based learning and experiential learning are specific types of work experience you can take part in, usually during your third year of study.
Here are some examples and links to get you started:
The Faculty of Business and Law offers the Business Internship Program, which may be incorporated into undergraduate courses from other faculties, allowing students the opportunity to both observe and participate in a range of real world business experiences related to their studies. Contact the program co-ordinator for more information.
The Faculty of Arts and Education offers experiential learning and internships. Contact the Experiential Learning Officer to find out more about:
The Faculty of Science and Technology offers the FaST Industry-Based learning (IBL) Program.
