Professional Placement or Project

Course aim

To provide students with specialised practical expertise in applying their discipline knowledge and skills within a work integrated learning environment, to compile the outcomes of that experience as a professional and transferable product, and critically reflect upon their experience.

Course content

Students will undertake a placement or project with an industry partner. A placement is defined as a work integrated learning experience that occurs at the industry partner's physical location, where the student is supervised regularly while performing work relevant to core business. A project is defined as a work-integrated learning experience through which an independent project is produced by the student on behalf of an industry partner. Students will apply advanced and specialised expertise to document and critically analyse the practical application of discipline-specific knowledge and skills in modern organisations and prepare for transition to employment.
