Workload and attendance
You should expect to put in around 10 hours per week for each unit you’re enrolled in (including class time and home study) If you’re studying full time, this will add up to about 40 hours per week.
Placement
Placement means working in industry. It gives you the chance to apply your knowledge in real situations – great preparation for being in the workforce.
You’ll use the InPlace platform to upload essential documents, submit your placement preferences and find out where you’ve been placed. Log in with your student ID and password.
Find out more about organising your placement via InPlace.
Before your placement can be confirmed, you’ll need to upload various mandatory documents to InPlace (including a Police Check, a Working with Children Check and your immunisation status). Some of these can take 6–12 weeks to organise, so best start early.
We've got a team of experts supporting your placement. If you need help, contact us on WIL.Arts@federation.edu.au.
