The Deakin Business School is committed to extending the boundaries of business and legal education. We aim to achieve this through close relationships with professional associations, other education providers and universities, business, employers and government - across Australia and internationally.
To further enhance its range of MBA units, the Deakin Business School has the Business Practicum Program. This program offers innovative experiential learning and upon successful completion provides two credit points of study.
The learning experience in this unit takes place primarily outside the classroom with students having the opportunity to observe and participate in a range of real world business experiences related to their studies. Students who have completed the practicum unit will gain valuable Australian business experience which is likely to enhance their employability – and prospects for promotion.
While undertaking the practicum placement on average two days per week throughout the trimester, students work with an academic supervisor to provide guidance and help them link their practical work with the academic requirements of the unit.
