REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE AND A COMPETITIVE EDGE

Putting you first, our teaching approach gets you hands-on at every opportunity. So when you graduate, you won’ t just be equipped for career success – but also to make a positive, long-term impact in the world.
INDUSTRY-BASED LEARNING( IBL)
This flagship initiative offers high-performing students the opportunity to participate in placements at top organisations. It counts as three units in your degree, and you’ ll receive a scholarship for your internship.
The IBL program prepares you for the workplace with the opportunity to apply the skills you’ ve learnt in the classroom in the corporate world, helping you gain valuable professional and business experience.
STUDENT LEADERS NETWORK( SLN)
SLN is a one-year program that prepares you to be an IT leader. It’ s an opportunity to engage with industry professionals through workshops, industry site visits, networking evenings, and a student-organised leadership summit. This experience will help you to develop critical employability skills, such as leadership, teamwork and communication, that are highly regarded by employers.
INTERNSHIP
As an alternative to IBL, you’ ll complete a 12-week internship in an industry-based environment after your second year. This internship will give you a strong foundation and framework for experiential learning.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Your undergraduate years can be full of opportunities to broaden your perspective on the IT industry, enhance your marketability, and develop the necessary mindset to transition from student to IT professional.
You’ ll have special access to career talks and panel discussions with invited industry guests, industry competitions, as well as professional certification programs. These will help you to:
• learn about emerging industry trends in IT
• gain a better understanding of what the industry expects from IT graduates
• discover the variety and scope of careers in IT
• build industry contacts via networking opportunities.
