Information for Current Students
Industry-Based Learning is a great opportunity for students wanting to gain industry experience in their chosen field prior to completing their undergraduate degree.
The benefits of IBL for the student are numerous:
- Our research has proven conclusively that students who undertake an IBL placement will on average obtain more challenging graduate employment more quickly and at a higher salary than students who elect not to participate
- IBL acts as a point of reference for a student to refer regarding career direction within the ICT domain
- Academic performance improves following a placement
- An IBL placement will enable students to expand their knowledge of the organisational environment, employers' expectations, ethics and relationships with colleagues
- Students use IBL as the starting point to build professional networks
- Students can earn while they learn!
If you undertake IBL there is a high probability that you will have a job waiting for you upon graduation. Alternatively, part-time employment during your final year of study often becomes available with your IBL employer.
