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 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.

This four Stage program teaches Information Systems Theory and Practice and provides industrial training linked to that teaching. The three industrial training periods in the course are each of approximately six months duration, running from January of Stages 2 and 3, and July of Stage 3 of the program.

The Bachelor of Information Systems Co-op 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 BIS (Co-op) Program is also designed as a preparation for PhD research in Information Systems at both UNSW and leading international research intensive universities.
