Overview

Professional work experience allows a transfer of the student鈥檚 theoretical, practical and research knowledge, skills, and capabilities to the professional workplace. This course enables students to apply their academic knowledge and research skills in a practical context, and to reflect and report on the experience while contributing to a specific practical activity or initiative.
Candidates undertaking research in the disciplines listed below should enrol in this course for the semester of industry placement.
Discipline areas include: Engineering and Built Environment, Health and Community (with sub-areas of Biomedical and Laboratory Medicine, and Psychology), and Sciences (all sub-areas except Applied Data Science, Mathematics and Statistics).

The purpose of this course is to give students the opportunity to experience the applied aspects of their research through working in the area of their primary research focus. This course aims to provide the student with experience in applying discipline knowledge and skills in the context of professional practice in order to strengthen discipline-specific research, learning, and specialisation.

Course learning outcomes

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. apply the concepts and theories of their particular research area of study to a professional workplace environment
  2. engage in critical reflective thinking to appraise personal professional skills in order to create an individual portfolio of skills to represent their emergent professional identity and capabilities
  3. apply critical reflection skills that enhance learning from and response to challenges faced and successes achieved in the workplace
  4. utilise relevant professional/practice-based approaches to gain knowledge and effectively communicate in the workplace
  5. analyse and critically reflect on how personal discipline-based practice relates to the collective and professional context of the workplace.

Topics

Description Weighting(%)
1. Topics covered in this course will be dependent on a student鈥檚 discipline area and the associated context and environment in which the work placement is undertaken. Learning experiences and outcomes will therefore be derived largely from the nature of the work placement within the context of a student鈥檚 discipline area. Generally, this course focuses on four parts:
I. Student鈥檚 critical reflection on their experience in undertaking workplace activities
II. Student鈥檚 performance in the placement
III. Context of the work experience
IV. Professional practice of the organisation and its relationship of the work experience to society.

The reflections on a student鈥檚 own work practices and those of their Host Organisation is an important part of this course as well the feedback students receive from their Host Supervisor.
