Engage with Business and Law students
The Faculty of Business and Law Student Engagement team aims to link Curtin Business School and Curtin Law School students to the real business world. Throughout our students’ degrees they are provided with opportunities to connect with industry, build networks and gain valuable work experience so they can graduate with the practical skills, connections and knowledge needed to succeed in the global marketplace.
Recognised by industry
Curtin Business School is ranked in the top ten business schools in Australia, and the most accredited in Western Australia, with both AACSB International and EQUIS accreditation.
Connecting through Curtin programs
Industry Connect
Work Integrated Learning: Our internship program allows students to work towards a real outcome and gain valuable work experience. You could host an undergraduate, postgraduate or MBA student on a broad or specialised project. Internship lengths can be flexible depending on your business needs and can take place at any time throughout the year.
Industry Projects: Industry-based projects enable students to be part of a business orientated multi-disciplinary team or work individually and engage with an external organisation on a complex project. Students will apply discipline knowledge, increase their engagement in practical settings, and enhance their career readiness.
Curtin Link
Curtin Link is an innovative service connecting students from Curtin Business School and Curtin Law School with the community. Through Curtin Link not-for-profit organisations, social enterprises, small businesses and start-ups can receive integrated advisory services and business project support on a range of business, legal and taxation issues.
High Achievers
The Business and Law High Achievers Program recognises and provides additional professional development opportunities to involved and exceptionally performing students in the Faculty.
Opportunities to engage with these talented students can include participating in program events, networking, delivering presentations, mentoring, advising on program content or hosting a small group of High Achiever students at a Captains of Industry session.
My internship at Finesse Consulting has provided me with on-the-job learnings I couldn’t have obtained from university. I cannot speak highly enough of the program.
