Industry experience for STEM students

Connect with us and give students in-demand industry experience and insights that will accelerate their careers.

Student participation in Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

WIL is a valuable mechanism for businesses to gain a fresh perspective on solving projects or problems, building a talent pipeline, and growing mentoring capabilities in your current workforce.

Simulated WIL

Students undertake practical training in high-end simulated work environments. Industry case studies are used in class to explore the development of real-life solutions to industry problems.

Projects

Industry collaborators present real-world challenges to our students to resolve. The capstone projects challenges students to apply knowledge and skills gained across their studies under our academics supervision to develop solutions that will be presented to the industry partner. Students can choose to undertake remote projects with international industry partners.

Internships

Students undertake short unpaid or long term paid placements with industry partners. There are also international placement opportunities (under COVID normal practices) available to students.

Guest Lectures

Guest industry speakers also take part in lectures and tutorials and industry experts mentor students. There are further opportunities for students to undertake hackathons with industry posed problems.
