WORK-BASED LEARNING
During some courses, you will have
the opportunity to participate
in a work-based learning (WBL)
placement, designed to allow you to
extend your formal learning beyond
the classroom. WBL provides the
opportunity to take your learning
into a workplace and test your
knowledge in a professional,
real-world environment.
Some courses include compulsory
WBL subjects, but we also offer
a range of elective WBL subjects,
both cross-discipline and subject-
specific. We’ll source placements
for some subjects on your behalf,
while others require you to source
your own. If you’re required to
source your own, our staff will
support you through the process.
Students undertaking placements
regionally are also eligible to access
additional support under the
Regional Reward program.
