Faculty of Science and Technology
Deakin University
It is one of the core aims of the Faculty of Science & Technology at Deakin to produce high calibre graduates who are also employable and have a broad understanding of the career opportunities available to them in their chosen field. Industry-based Learning (IBL) involves students working full or part time in industry as part of their degree program. IBL plays a very valuable role in preparing students for graduate employment by giving them an opportunity to apply and consolidate knowledge gained at university, experience work place culture and work practices, explore career options and develop a professional network. Graduate recruiters usually give preference to students who have participated in IBL programs for these same reasons as they recognise that these students are better prepared for work and also likely to be making a more informed decision about their career choices. As a faculty that is home to disciplines that are the ‘enablers’ of Business & Industry, the Faculty of Science & Technology has a wide range of external partnerships and is ideally positioned to develop and manage industry placements across most disciplines. Hence, this program will not be limited to students of the Faculty of Science & Technology but instead, be open to all high achieving Deakin students who meet the requirements.
