Work integrated learning (WIL)
UC has courses that offer work experience which can include internships, projects, field work and clinical placements. All of these are supported by the University if they are part of a course. You may find an internship that is not part of your course and while it is great experience it is not WIL.
The definition of WIL is:
1. Students will engage with a stakeholder(s) to enhance and develop their skills and knowledge as part of their course and degree.
2. Students will connect and reflect on the content of the course and their engagement through some type of formal assessment worth at least 25% of their final course grade.
3. Some aspect of the students’ work will be intended to be useable by the stakeholder.
