What is Work Integrated Learning (WIL)?
Work integrated learning in biomedicine is important because it connects academic learning with real-world practice, builds technical and professional competencies, enhances employability and confidence, provides career clarity and networks, and prepares students for dynamic, non-linear careers through adaptability and transferable skills. It enriches the biomedical education experience and equips students for success in a broad range of careers in industry, research, and vocations.
- Professor Robyn Slattery, Director of Education, School of Biomedical Sciences
Connect theory with practice. WIL helps you apply learning from lectures and practice classes to real-world biomedical problems involving complex laboratory skills, data analysis, regulatory knowledge and clinical contexts, deepening your understanding and shaping career pathways.
Build professional skills. Through WIL and real-life settings you strengthen lab skills, data analysis, ethical and regulatory awareness, and teamwork – key skills for work-readiness.
Boost your career. The Bachelor of Biomedicine offers WIL placements that develop industry-relevant skills, improve graduate outcomes, expand professional networks, build confidence and career clarity.
