Work Integrated Learning and Industry Placements

The School of Information and Physical Sciences provides companies with several ways for companies to offer placements for our students. Hands-on professional experience is vital to students' learning, and helps companies raise their profile among the university community. From a practical perspective, those placements allow companies to:

• Select highly skilled, final-year students from our undergraduate programs to participate in company's activities;
• Assign them to internal projects that require Computing and/or Mathematical skills to be completed, for between 120 hours and 360 hours, depending on the program and modality of placement;
• Retain any intellectual property developed by students during their placement;
• Have insurance covered by the University of Newcastle.

For more information please see the brochures below, which cover all the undergraduate programs offered by our School. More information about Work Integrated Learning in general can be found at the University's WIL webpage. If you would like additional information about Industry Placements, please contact:
