ASSC – Education placements and WIL
Work Integrated Learning (WIL)
Internships undertaken for academic credit (sometimes referred to as Placements or Industry or Community Projects)
Internships or projects in an industry or community settings are offered across the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce.
In addition to discipline specific subjects, the College also offers multi-discipline subjects, offering vital skill development via an internship or team-based projects.
We strongly recommend students consider undertaking a WIL subject during their course to gain career-ready experience, make valuable industry connections, and gain insight into the types of opportunities available after they graduate.
