Practical programs
There is no teacher like experience
The Deakin Graduate School of Business offers two units aimed at giving its students real-world business experience while earning credit toward their degree. These are the Business Practicum Program and the Postgraduate Internship.
The programs have been developed to give students the opportunity to put theory into practice, to make contacts and build networks that will serve them well beyond graduation. A practical learning experience teaches skills that cant be learned in the classroom and develops personal qualities that make Deakin graduates stand out from the crowd.
The table below outlines some of the features of each program to help you to decide which one is right for you.
