Professional Year Programs

You’ve got your bachelor or master degree, but what now? You need experience. The more you have, the more likely you are to stand out from the crowd when you start looking for work.

A Professional Year Program in Accounting or Computer Science can help international graduates to:

  • Enhance your employability
  • Learn how to sell yourself to potential employers
  • Develop effective workplace communication techniques
  • Get practical experience with a 12-week industry internship.

We also provide free access to online IELTS exam preparation (optional) and ongoing career support.

Both programs have been approved by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).
