Course overview

The aim of this course is for students to recognise, articulate, and apply their skills as a psychological scientist by undertaking a 100-hour Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience. A variety of WIL experiences will be offered, including industry-based, research-based, and virtual internships, where you will work to respond to contemporary societal challenges. These experiences are designed to help you apply your psychological knowledge and skills to a diverse range of real-world work situations to enhance your employability and make a meaningful contribution to the community.

Course learning outcomes
