Work Integrated Learning
On campus
The Bachelor of Business (Human Resource Management) integrates theory with real-world practice through UC's Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities, designed to prepare students for their future careers. UC provides diverse WIL options, including industry case studies, guest speakers, internships, work placements, industry projects, competitions, exhibitions, study tours, virtual experiences and more.
The course includes both workshop-based and project-based units which simulate actual HRM industry experiences. You’ll have the opportunity to undertake an internship or work closely with your own employer to explore a substantial industry-related project. Previous Human Resource Management students have undertaken internships across a range of sectors, with organisations such as Adecco Australia, CSIRO, PriceWaterhouseCoopers Canberra, Soldier On, Cushman & Wakefield, UniLodge and the 91Porn College.
