Work Integrated Learning Placement (BEES2051)

The BEES Work Integrated Learning Placement Course (BEES2051) enables students to work at a partner organisation in an area of Biological, Earth or Environmental science. It is designed to enable students to extend and deepen their academic knowledge of their discipline and their personal and professional skills, capabilities and employability. Students are required to spend approximately 140 hours at their partner organisation, during which time they will work under the supervision of their workplace supervisor. Additional time will be required for students to complete a preparatory online module before commencing as well as two online modules during their placement as well as formal assessment tasks. Some of these tasks can be completed during their work placement hours.
