Career-ready placements – connecting learning with industry experience.

Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, leave the classroom behind, and dive into real-world experiences.That's why practical experience is integrated into all our undergraduate programs, along with many of our postgraduate programs.

Also known as work-integrated learning, internships, practicums, clinical placements, or work placements, these activities are purposefully aligned with your curriculum. They are a course or program requirement, providing you with the chance to apply the skills and knowledge gained from your university studies in a professional workplace.
