ASSC – Education placements and WIL

Undertaking a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) subject is a great way to put theory into practice and develop professional skills in a working environment. ASC3WPP welcomes applications from all undergraduate students, both domestic and international, from all campuses and in all discipline areas. It is a 15 credit-point elective subject designed to offer you the opportunity to develop your employability skills in a professional setting.

ASC3WPP is a self-sourced subject. This means that you will source your own placement and have it approved by the Subject Coordinator in order to participate. If you have difficulty finding a placement, email our team.

The University also has tools and resources to help you identify suitable organisations and guide you through the process. Occasionally we offer placement opportunities which are made available to you throughout the year.
