The School of Art & Design at UNSW offers an outstanding WIL opportunity through the Professional Experience Project (PEP) program for Undergraduate students and Internship program for Postgraduate students, which are designed to equip students with grounded and sustained experience in a professional workplace environment.
PEP and Internship Programs offer every Art & Design student the opportunity to build additional professional skills and knowledge that can assist with making informed choices about future career pathways, complete practical work experience under the guidance of practicing professionals, and to accelerate establishing a professional network and links that may open graduate employment pathways.
PEP (ADAD3000) is undertaken by Undergraduate students enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Media Arts and Bachelor of Design. Internship program (ADAD9115) is undertaken by Postgraduate students enrolled in the Master of Animation and Visual Effects, Master of Media Arts, Master of Design and Master of Curating and Cultural Leadership.
Both programs are 150 hours in total, including 105 hours of professional engagement. This can take the form of a placement (internship) with an industry partner activity with a creative or design-led business, gallery or arts organisation.
For current students who have Moodle access, we also highly recommend you check out the Moodle WIL Pre-enrolment information site to support you through the enrolment process, by using the code: A&D-WIL.
