Content
Integrating study and work experience in a systematic way is essential for forging close links between the university education process and the workplace. Students will have the opportunity to gain professional work experience with an approved host organisation. The exact nature, activities and emphasis in each industry placement will vary according to the context, resources and expertise of staff as well as the experience, qualities and aspirations of the student. This systematic opportunity (along with the partner internship unit SLE768 Industry Practice A) will provide students with experiences with which they can learn about an organisation, critically reflect on their Course and Graduate Learning Outcomes, and discipline-specific as well as generic competencies in the context of work. There are many benefits to students and employers from undertaking relevant work placements / industry placements during study. The key benefit is that it prepares students for their future professional careers. Learning and assessment activities in this unit will help students develop an appreciation for work-life and make decisions about personal and professional development. Most importantly, it will provide students relevant experience and artifacts when applying for future work.
