Plan Outline

The UNSW Co-op Program is a scholarship program set up by industry and The University of New South Wales to provide financial support and industry training for selected undergraduate students. The UNSW Co-op Program is based on existing undergraduate programs at UNSW with the following special features:

For high achieving students the UNSW Co-op Program offers an ideal combination of challenge and opportunity.
Co-op students receive structured industrial training and gain valuable work experience with up to three different employers.
On graduation, sponsors are always looking to recruit Co-op Scholars.
UNSW academics and senior managers from industry and government have jointly planned Co-op requirements.
In 2012 Co-op scholars are receiving a tax-free scholarship of $16,750 per annum.
At present we have 150 of Australia’s leading industries sponsoring 470 scholars across 24 different programs.

The Co-op Program is a four year degree program within the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-op) and includes 18 months of coordinated industrial experience. Industrial training extends outside university semesters.

To satisfy the Honours requirements, students must complete Honours level courses (both compulsory and elective) and undertaking a research thesis. Students must have completed the prerequisite courses prior to their Honours year.
