Planning and delivery

Placements can be tailored to suit your organisation, with flexible options for student cohort, time commitment, timing and delivery mode.

Student cohort: Typically final‑year or final‑semester students (law students undertake placement in their penultimate year).
Time commitment: 45 hours to 150 hours depending on the discipline area
Timeframes: Placements can occur at any time of the year, however it is common for students to choose placement in their final semester (July-November).
Modes: Full-time or part-time. On-site, hybrid or remote (subject to role and organisational requirements)
Organisations are encouraged to consider paid placements, where possible, as this can increase student interest and accessibility.
