question about BScIT DIP @ UTS (1 Viewer)

[Gubble]

after reading the course description...i found it quite interesting....they say that u get ur fourth year at an overseas uni..which is sweet....and then they also say u'll get a yea'r paid work experience...now my question is to do with the work experience....do u hafta go find a place to work urself?...or does uts have like a bunch of companies and they assign u to a certain company?

i think only the scholarship courses provide guaranteed placement since it is usually affliated with a company.

so u may have to find it but im sure their links with companies can be a starting point for a job search.

but check with the uni or someone who does the course to make sure...

ok, im actually doing this course now.
you dont go overseas for a year in our course, unless you do a combined degree with international studies.

and as for the 3rd year paid work experience, its 9 months full time PAID work. You have to find the place yourself, but if you are having troubles, the uni can help you out.

UTS does have a bunch of linked companies, but they only assign them to people doing the scholarship course. Non- scholarship people can still apply for these companies cause scholarship people dont have work experience at the same time, but its generally harder cause everyone wants to work for them.
