AUT - Workplace Experience

At AUT we want to provide students with a transition between your studies and the world of employment. Our strong industry links provide students with work opportunities in a variety of major New Zealand organisations.

Workplace experience in a real communications environment is part of your final year studies and students participate with an organisation on a project that is related to their major.

This provides an opportunity for you to reflect on the relationship between your studies and skills and industry practice. It also provides a great start in the industry while still being able to get feedback from AUT lecturers.

This experience has given our students careers as:

• Broadcast graphic artists (TVNZ, Touchdown)
• Content manager (Vodafone 3G)
• Production manager TV3 Sports
• Promotions directors TV3, TVNZ, Sky TV
• Advertising co-ordinator at National Business Review
• Copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi

Bachelor of Communication Studies, Journalism
