The School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics is pleased to provide work experience placements to high school students interested in computing, engineering and mathematic research.  However, placements within the School are limited and are therefore offered on a competitive basis to South Australian students only.

A successful placement is dependent on the following factors.

1. A strong application

Students must complete the Work Experience Application Form (DOC 117KB) and submit to one of the following

Email:    sco.csem@csem.flinders.edu.au

Fax:       8201 2904

Post:      Science Communication Officer
               School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics
               Flinders University
               GPO Box 2100
          Adelaide SA 5001

2.  Availability of research labs

Placements are only available from time to time and we apologise if we do not have a position available.  To ensure you have the best possible chance of securing a placement we recommend:

  • being flexible in your available weeks and areas of interest, and
  • applying as early as possible.  Placements are arranged on a first come, first served basis to suitable applicants.

Applications received less than 2 months before the requested placement dates will not be considered.

 3. Contact by the student

We require that any enquiries or arrangements for work experience be made by the student themselves, not a parent/caregiver (emails sent by a student via a home address would be acceptable).  This is an important part of work experience.  It encourages students to practice their professionalism, organisation, communication and show responsibility.

If you have any questions about work experience in Computing, Engineering or Mathematics please contact;
