Work-Integrated Learning
An Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) program is an arrangement between you and your faculty and an employer that enables experiential learning in an area related to your course and career goals. Work-Integrated Learning programs (or Internships) are normally undertaken toward the end of your qualification, require previous study in the relevant discipline and have specific goals attached to the your course as well as skill development objectives. These programs are generally unpaid, and may require you to complete a specified number of work hours (although the time frame over which the work takes place may be negotiable). The negotiated program usually involves specific tasks or a project monitored by a supervisor in the workplace.
The information provided on this page is intended to help you find an international internship within your field of study. Please note that international Work-Integrated Learning programs are to be coordinated and approved by your Faculty.
