Workplace Learning

Workplace learning involves students taking placements with a host organisation for the purpose of linking theoretical learning with its application in the workplace. This will enable students to extend their professional knowledge, enhance their employability skills, and reflect on and evaluate their own work practices.

From 2012, students will have an opportunity to undertake three (3) work placements over the course of their Bachelor of Business degree and one work placement in year 2 of their Bachelor of Accounting degree.
