Industrial
placement
SEMESTER 6
The University arranges for students to
undertake 16 weeks of structured, program-
related experience in a work situation which is
suited to their future career aspirations. The
program may involve placement on a farm, in
an agribusiness enterprise or with a government
agency. It can be undertaken in Australia or in
another country. This enables the student to
apply basic knowledge to that enterprise or
industry and to acquire knowledge and skills
which will be utilised in the more specialised
studies later in the program. During the period,
each student submits a number of reports
relating to the industry placement.
