Work Integrated Learning at ÌÇÐÄlogo Business School

We believe every student should have the chance to experience Work Integrated Learning (WIL) as part of their degree. WIL brings your studies to life and gets you ready for the workplace.

WIL courses combine academic assessments and workshops with practical work assignments with partner organisations. You’ll apply what you’ve learnted in the classroom to real business challenges, boosting your professional and personal skills.

Discover your interests, develop new skills, and make valuable connections with the support of your peers and lecturers. Get a firsthand look at an industry and see if it’s the right fit for your career.

WIL at ÌÇÐÄlogo Business School comes in two forms:

  • Placement based WIL: Complete an internship with an organisation while attending workshops.
  • Project based WIL: Work in teams to solve a business challenge for an organisation, providing strategic recommendations.

Whether WIL is a requirement for your degree or an elective to enrich your studies, you’ll dive into real business projects with our partner organisations through these for-credit courses.

WIL benefits

  • Immerse yourself in real-world business environments and see firsthand how businesses operate
  • Explore various industries and gain valuable insights.
  • Develop essential technical and transferable skills that are crucial for your future career.
  • Network with professionals and organisations, kickstarting your professional connections.
  • Apply your classroom knowledge in practical, real-life settings.

This [Industry Consulting Project] journey has been an incredible opportunity to dive deep into the consulting field, from crafting innovative solutions to advancing circular economy initiatives for local businesses, to delivering impactful final recommendations. This experience was both challenging and enriching. 
I look forward to leveraging the valuable insights and practical skills gained from this experience in future projects and challenges.
