What's involved

In collaboration with an industry partner and an academic lead, in Industry and Community Project Units (ICPUs), you will work in a group with other students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds.

Together you will research, analyse and present solutions to real world problems set by the external partner organisation. You will then have the opportunity to engage with and learn from industry experts and present your recommendations and ideas to the industry partner.

Projects and partners

We have partnered with more than 85 business, government, and community organisations in Australia and globally to give you the opportunity to work on real-world projects.

Our industry partners

Partners include ACON, Bridge Housing, PTW Architects, Cartier, Gilbert and Tobin Lawyers, JLL, Paratus Clinical, Powerhouse Museum, TATA India, The Smith Family, Ventia, Ernst and Young, ANSTO, Westpac Bank and many more.

Topics you'll explore

You will work in teams to explore real-world topics such as Technology in Agriculture, Digital Innovation in Education, Gender and Sexual Identity and Vaccination. These are only a few examples from a wide range of exciting topics to choose.

Some projects are offered as semester-long projects and some are offered as intensives, completed over four weeks during February and July.
