About this Unit
Professional Experience (Advanced) is a final year 'capstone' work-placement unit. This advanced unit provides the opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in software systems requirements definition, analysis, design, implementation and project management, in an external organisation under the supervision of industry experts. During the work placement students work in a real- life project applying the theories and technical skills learned in previous units in an industry setting. Students are allowed to propose a work-placement of their choice within an external organisation. School will assess the suggested work-placement for its suitability in meeting the set unit outcomes, prior to approval.
