Internships and Vocational Placements

Vocational Placements, also known as Work Integrated Learning (WIL) or Experiential Learning, are a valuable way for students to get hands-on experience in industry while studying. The MSD Vocational Placement subject enables eligible students to undertake an unpaid, short term placement with a host organisation or industry that is relevant to the student’s area of study. Students are allocated an academic supervisor and a host supervisor prior to starting the placement. These two roles provide students an important source of support throughout the placement and the ensuing report is submitted for academic credit.

Our Master of Landscape Architecture student Olivia Block was recently involved in the SMEC Summer Internship. Our Master of Landscape Architecture alum Momoka Kawauchi completed the internship in 2018 and is now an employee with SMEC. Read about how their internships lead to career opportunities here.

Studio Experience

The Melbourne School of Design has a unique Studio teaching format for their Master of Architecture degree. At the start of each semester students select from an array of different studio concepts that change regularly to reflect the changing face of Architecture. Each studio iteration works to a different design brief so you can select studios that allow you to explore different areas of interest or build upon a specific one.
