Stream 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 2014 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 provides outstanding scholars with the opportunity of undertaking their course work in the Bachelor of Commerce degree with industrial training experience. By combining their degree with hands-on practical experience, Co-op scholars are provided with an excellent opportunity for furthering their knowledge and skills in partnership with sponsor organisations. The Honours (research) component of the School of Banking and Finance's Co-op model is also a central component of preparing future leaders of the financial services industry.
The Honours Co-op Program is a four-year degree program which combines the requirements of the Bachelor of Commerce with 18 months of coordinated industrial experience. Industrial training extends outside university semesters.
Co-op students are required to maintain a Distinction Average and meet the Honours entry requirements.
Note:with the approval of the Head of School, students who fail to meet the performance requirements or select not to undertake an Honours year may change into the General Stream of this program and, if desired, complete a second major in place of the listed Level 4 courses.
