This course will give you practical experience working in a media organisation as well the opportunity to undertake an individually negotiated professional practice project.

Your placement in a professional media organisation in Australia or overseas will give you the opportunity to experience how journalism is practiced. Your placement will give you the opportunity to put into practice the skills and knowledge you have developed across your program.

This course is restricted to final year Journalism Program students.

This is the designated Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course for BP220 Bachelor of Communication (Journalism).

International placements must be registered and processed through RMIT Global Mobility.
