Professional Practice in Business

Itching to connect the realm of the classroom with some real-life experience? Professional Practice in Business is designed with just this aim in mind. Students will have the have the chance to engage academically with issues pertaining to their Business specialisation plus experience a hands-on placement.

Working with an experienced supervisory mentor, students will complete a 100 hour placement over the course of semester, with a variety of formats to choose from. Perhaps you have visions of becoming the next CEO of World Vision? A block placement at a Christian organisation, working with a field specialist, could be the kick start needed. Alternatively, your 100 hours could be served with an overseas mentor in a concentrated three or so weeks of professional practice. The sky is the limit!
