Gain an upper hand when it comes to getting a job through the
Commerce Work Practicum.
The Commerce Work Practicum (PDF 281.48kb) is a non-paid 150-hour project supervised by both a UniSA Academic Supervisor and a host organisation.
Participating in a practicum provides you with the opportunity to apply the theories of your discipline in a practical and actual business setting whilst also obtaining 4.5 unit credits towards the elective course BUSS 3051.
Previous host organisations have included Coca-Cola Australia, BAE Systems Australia, PWC Australia to name a few.
Brief Structure:
- Students will be placed with an employer host organisation and will undertake a research project under supervision from both an academic within your discipline area and a senior manager within the organisation;
- Assessment will be based on a 3000-4000 words report plus a presentation to the host organisation;
- The project-based study will take place at the host organisation and outside depending upon negotiated arrangements - but will span over 15 weeks commensurate with a normal semester period and workload;
Selection Criteria:
- There are limited placements and offerings will be merit-selected (determined by the course coordinator).
- Students will need a GPA of at least 5 from their core program-based courses
