VETS6138: Elective Experience 3 Industry Placement

2026 unit information

This elective experience 3 industry placement is part of the Extramural Studies Program and provides you with a unique opportunity to increase your knowledge of animal industries. It will help you to utilise and extend your knowledge, skill levels and professional communications with industries. The unit involves a one-week practical experience at a School approved external commercial enterprise involving elective experience 3. You will be under the supervision of an external supervisor who will liaise with the School, review the aims of the placement with you, and assess your performance and attendance via a standard report form. You are expected to fully participate in agreed activities whilst attending the placement, typically taking on the role of a full-time, supervised associate. Risk assessments are regularly conducted for units that require the completion of compulsory learning activities that may expose students to zoonotic diseases. These assessments aim to identify appropriate risk mitigation controls, such as vaccination against vaccine- preventable zoonoses. Vaccination against Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) is an inherent requirement for students enrolling in this unit of study. Students must be vaccinated against Q fever before commencing the unit or no later than week two of the enrolled teaching session. Q fever vaccination is only available in Australia with the vaccination process taking three weeks to complete. Students must also submit a Q fever Vaccination Declaration upon enrolment. Students who fail to receive vaccination by the specified deadline and/or submit a Q fever Vaccination Declaration are precluded from practical learning activities and will not be able to satisfactorily complete relevant units of study and/or progress in their course more generally. Please refer to the University’s website https://www.sydney.edu.au/students/q-fever-vaccinations.html for more information on student vaccinations.
