EXPOSURE
Studying IT is only part of your journey. Our courses
emphasise ‘learning by doing’ because when it’s time to
embark on your career in IT, we want you to have knowledge
and experience – a powerful combination in a highly
competitive job market.
Industry-based learning (IBL)
The IBL program sets you up with the opportunity to apply
the skills you’ve learnt in the classroom in the corporate
world. You’ll be placed in a leading IT organisation for
a 22-week industrial placement, which will help you gain
valuable professional and business experience. The program
is formally assessed and credited towards your degree.
What’s more, your organisation will award you with
a scholarship throughout the duration of your placement.
Internships
If you don’t qualify for the IBL program, you’ll be required to
go for a 12-week internship in an industry-based
environment after your second year. Your internship
coordinator will be able to connect you with employers
offering placements. Some companies our students have
interned with include:

broaden your perspective on the IT industry, enhance your
marketability, and develop the necessary mindset to

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
