Career-ready Placement
Engaging with our regions is fundamental to everything we do. From collaborating with industry on ground-breaking research, to connecting students with opportunities for real-world experience – opportunities are embedded across all our degrees to ensure you graduate work and life-ready.
When we collaborate with our communities we create a stronger, more inclusive society, we improve health and wellbeing, and we harness our regions' innovative spirit to create future opportunities.
Whether it’s hosting a visit for our students, starring as a guest lecturer or joining an advisory group, we welcome opportunities for industry to engage with us. Our Greater Bank Finance Lab is just one example of a partnership outcome that not only benefits our students but also the community by helping individuals to build financial literacy skills.
Our Career-ready placement programs are forged on strong partnerships with leading local, national and global organisations. As a student, these partnerships are an opportunity to put theory into practice and gain exposure working in a diverse range of community, business and government organisation.
Depending on your passion, that might mean the chance to work with legal professionals on actual criminal cases, collaborate with a leading record label to create the official music video for a major band, gain valuable experience teaching students in the classroom – and so much more.
