Work-Integrated Learning

Work-Integrated Learning may be undertaken through various Professional Practice and Professional Experience subjects at AC. These subjects seek to create a direct linkage between the learning, skills and values engaged in lectures, and the reflection which occurs when these are applied in real-life settings. These work-based training subjects comprise of instruction, academic assessment and a placement in a workplace for each subject.

Organisation and placement will be conducted by the AC Professional Experience Coordinator. Please note that AC professional experience team will try to arrange a professional experience close to where you live but that this may not always be possible and students may need to travel to their professional experience site. Students can also organise their own placement this, however, needs to be approved by the AC professional experience team and the conditions of the placement need to meet the course and tertiary requirements.
