The Science, Engineering and Built Environment Work Integrated Learning Program (WIL) enables students to incorporate an industry work placement for credit towards their degree. Industry placements play a valuable role in preparing students for graduate employment.

The placements give students the opportunity to gain discipline specific industry exposure through two types of industry placements: Industry-based Learning (IBL) placement or an Internship placement.

Seven reasons why students should consider a WIL placement:

To bridge the gap between the theory and practice in your discipline
To apply and consolidate knowledge gained in your course
To gain discipline specific industry exposure
To develop good work practices
To experience work place culture
To explore career options relevant to your discipline
To develop a professional network

WIL placements are offered as Faculty level elective units and are credited to the degree upon satisfactory completion of the STP010 Introduction to Work placements unit, the placement and the unit assessment. Both IBL and internship units attract normal university fees.
