Industry Placement
YOU MUST COMPLETE AN INDUSTRY PLACEMENT REGISTRATION FORM BEFORE COMMENCING YOUR PLACEMENT.
I believe the two periods of Industry placement should remain an integral part of the Information Technology degree, I believe it is important to be able to contrast the difference not only between university and working lifestyles; but also between learning and working environments. Whereas a BInfoTech provides a foundational knowledge, Industry Placement provides an insight into “applicational culture.” This insight into the methodologies of work practice, and the experience of being given responsibilities and being expected to work based on one's own initiatives and decisions, is absolutely relevant to a well-rounded education. Furthermore, by having such a focal role in the degree, the advantages of a BInfoTech, the skills and experience gained, are openly clarified.
