WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING/INTERNSHIP SUBJECTS

GLOBAL WORKPLACE PRACTICE (GWP800) 

An informative and intensive subject designed to meet the employment aspirations of international students to undertake work in Australia. This subject crosses boundaries between theory and practice and will maximise the student's potential to access workplace experiences leading to formal post-university employment options. Students will acquire and develop work-based learning skillsets; will critically examine the discourses and theories of intercultural competence, as well as develop cultural awareness and business communication skills that are fit-for-purpose regardless of students' career aspirations. It also provides an opportunity for students to integrate and apply their university knowledge in an industry context. 

Trimester 2 and Spring 2014 applications for GWP800 on Wollongong Campus are now OPEN.

For more information on GWP800, visit the Work Integrated Learning website.

Professional Recognition

The Master of Information and Communication Technology Advanced is accredited by the Australian Computer Society as meeting requirements for membership at a “Professional Level”.
