IBL Success Stories
Roselyn Leclair
Bachelor of Health Science (Public and Environmental Health)
"Swinburne was the only university that offered my degree, with a course structure and subjects that were attractive to me. I gained many skills and professional knowledge during my IBL placement. My placement was undertaken with the Victorian Department of Health. It provides the invaluable opportunity of industry networking to help in future employment endeavours. "
Adila Roshiah
Bachelor of Arts (Digital Media & Marketing)
"My course provides me with flexibility - there is an amazing range of subjects, which means I can learn about more than just one area of study. I've decided to major in digital media and I'm gaining additional skills and knowledge through my Industry-Based Learning placement. "
Daniele Chiodo
Bachelor of Arts (Digital Media and Marketing)
"The marketing aspects of multimedia really appealed to me. I've enjoyed learning about everything from 3D modelling and web development to business. I've also been able to gain industry experience."
Rebecca Zeeman
Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications)
"The Industry-Based Learning placement I undertook gave me the confidence to achieve my goals. It made my path clearer and my love of writing and journalism even stronger. Without taking part in the program I don't think I would have the passion and direction I now have."
Mark Katugampola
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and Psychophysiology)
"My Industry-Based learning year at the Royal Children's Hospital gave me the opportunity to gain some practical experience in the healthcare sector. I developed a vast knowledge of respiratory diseases and also gained a good rapport with patients and fellow staff members during my time at the hospital. With this experience, my career aspirations are now a lot more defined."
