Year 3 Work Integrated Learning

This faculty-wide unit offers a number of streams. The streams that are available to you will depend on your degree and your individual circumstances. 

Different streams are offered because work integrated learning, or real world learning, needs to be relevant to your degree but also to support your personal aspirations.

  • Step 1

    • Students can do 100 hours unpaid or paid internship in an approved workplace, with a workplace mentor. Positions are available through CareerHub (go to My Groups then FAD Internships in Careerhub).
    • All internships must be approved by the FAD Internships Coordinator before the start of semester. Contact FADInternships@canberra.edu.au if you have any questions.
