Co-operative Education
Learning in the Workplace
You will be mentored by a workplace supervisor and an AUT academic and will be encouraged to start the process of finding your placement from the beginning of your degree. The Business School provides assistance, hosting networking opportunities with employers and information sessions.
This highly successful programme gives you a great start in the industry while still being able to get feedback from AUT lecturers who help you analyse your experiences and performance.
Employers value the fresh ideas and latest thinking that you bring to the organisation, and many offer permanent employment to their co-operative education students after graduating.

SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise)
From 2012, students can take the paper 307000 SIFE as an approved 60 point alternative to Co-op.
As a student in the new SIFE 60 point paper, you will be able to create and run SIFE projects to benefit people in need and simultaneously gain credits towards your degree for your phenomenal contributions. Bring theories and concepts learned from your major and apply them to solve real world issues.
Entry requirements are two level 7 papers in a chosen major plus permission of the the BBus Programme Leader. Permission is usually granted to students with a B or higher average grade who show commitment to the SIFE organisation. A record of previous volunteering at SIFE AUT is an advantage, but not essential.
