About this Unit
This unit is the industry placement for the work integrated learning embedded in the Bachelor of Cyber Security and Behaviour degree. Students will work with an industry placement or its equivalent. There are four options for industry placement: 1. WSU-brokered industry placement on a competitive basis; 2. an approved placement at the student’s place of work, or via the student’s networks and contacts; 3. an industry project report based on industry-generated case studies and problems; 4. continuing at WCACE. In addition, workshops will be conducted throughout the semester to aid in your learning and to support your professional development during this placement or project. Contact the unit coordinator well in advance to elect your own industry placement (such as your current employer).
Only options 2 and 3 are available to WSU Online students.
