Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. 

As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:

• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
• where necessary interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;
• complete these activities in real work contexts or situations; and in addition
• these interactions and the work contexts provide distinctive sources of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Any or all of these aspects of a Work Integrated learning (WIL) experience may be simulated.

If you are working, particularly in a job which is related to your studies, you will also be learning while at work and may have the opportunity to be assessed in your workplace for some or all of your courses. Feedback from work supervisors and others in the workplace can be used as evidence of competency, and an RMIT University assessor can visit your workplace to observe your work
