15. Professional Experience Program

Opportunities are available for students studying a Bachelor of Commerce degree to gain valuable employment experience with a large range of employers.

There are several ways in which students can participate in professional experience programs, these include:

• industry year

  The industry year component of the Professional Experience Program's activities generally targets students with between 12-18 months remaining in their degree(s) and recruits them to commence work in positions the following year for a period of 12 months. Some employers offer employment in the year prior to entering the honours (fourth) year of the degree.

• vacation work

  eight to 12 weeks paid industry placement offered during summer break, usually offered to penultimate year students.

• graduate employment program

  Employers come onto campus to recruit final-year students for graduate positions.

• international student programs

  Information about employers and work opportunities for international students studying at the University of Melbourne.

• industry consultancy

  Project-based work for students from all faculties at all year levels.
