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 four 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 received 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 Bachelor of Commerce (Co-op) Information Systems Program is a four year degree program which includes 18 months of coordinated industrial training experience, which extend outside university semesters.
The Bachelor of Commerce (Co-op) Information Systems Program offers a more advanced level of coursework and the chance to develop individual skills working independently on a research project. The program provides a broad exposure to advanced areas in Information Systems as well as a high degree of specialisation that is applicable to a career in industry. The Program is also designed as a preparation for PhD research in Information Systems at both UNSW and leading international research intensive universities.
