For overseas graduates wishing to progress in their careers in Australia, the Professional Year Program combines classroom instruction with practical job experience.
This program is designed to help students majoring in engineering, information technology, or accounting develop their skills so they can seek careers in those fields. A 12-week internship program in a field relevant to their field of study is completed by students with the assistance of the Professional Year, a bridging course. The curriculum lasts for 44 weeks total, of which 12 are dedicated to an internship during which the student receives individualized attention and is able to become familiar with the working culture. The student's teamwork, technical expertise for their role, communication skills, and understanding of business culture are all enhanced by this internship.
