International students: Work Integrated Learning info session
Interested in a professional placement or an internship?

This session is tailored to the specific requirements of international students with topics including:
- the definition of placements and internships
- eligibility requirements
- visa and work rights.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions to industry partners and students who have completed a Work Integrated Learning experience.
