CG99 Bachelor of Information Technology (Co-op) – Application Development, Business Analysis and Cyber Security majors
Upon completing all other units in your course, you will undertake a twelve-week, full-time industry work placement. The maximum duration may be extended to six months if the job is part-time. Work placements cannot be taken at your current employer, or in any other host organisation where a conflict of interest may arise.
To be eligible for work placement, you must apply for the work placement, and undergo a series of interviews with prospective host organisations. You will be enrolled in the unit COIT13238 Industry Work Placement once you have secured a host organisation. Due to accreditation requirements, you cannot be awarded credit for this unit based on your previous study or work experience.
A work placement cannot be guaranteed as it is subject to your acceptance by a host organisation, and your placement cannot be taken at any host organisation where a conflict of interest may arise.
