The course is a professional placement that enables you to experience work-integrated-learning in which your knowledge and skills are applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience. It will also help you to critically evaluate professional practices and organisational demands, and reflect on your own professional skills, ideas and values.

In this course you will have the opportunity to undertake placement for at least 30 days in a planning agency or related workplace. Workplace opportunities include local or state government level (e.g. statutory or strategic), with a private planning consultancy, in the not-for-profit sector including research or in a simulated work environment.
