Hands-on experience

We’ve developed close relationships with more than 200 local, national and international organisations to give you the opportunity to gain specialist knowledge and proven on-the-job performance so you graduate work-ready and industry-linked.

You can specialise in year one, engaging in cutting-edge research, fieldwork and work placements because to us you are not a science student, you are a student scientist.

Our Work Integrated Learning placements for Engineering are up to 20 weeks long, the equal longest in Australia (compared to the standard 12 weeks).
