Work Integrated Learning
Good things happen when you’re outside your comfort zone, away from the classroom and beyond the textbooks. That’s why integrated practical experience is embedded into all of our degrees.
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) forges strong partnerships with leading local and global organisations and challenges and inspires students to acquire practical workplace skills. This could mean participating in a clinical or professional work placement, practicum, internship or project-based learning.
