Work-based learning (WBL) provides students hands-on experience with industry partners for a year. During this duration, they will gain real world, practical learning experiences. This complements the classroom learning that students would have gained in their first two years of their degree, increasing their career readiness.

WHY CHOOSE WORK-BASED LEARNING?

HANDS-ON LEARNING

Structured learning opportunities, achieved through authentic work experiences guided by the industry partner and academic supervisor.

INCREASE CAREER READINESS

Students are more connected to the working world which motivates them to develop skills that will prepare them for success.

IT’S MORE THAN AN INTERNSHIP

Work- based learning (WBL) transforms the workplace into a place of learning while an internship applies what has been taught during class time.
