ESIPS partnerships
Engage our brightest students on projects designed for your organisation
Our Engineering Sydney Industry Placement Scholarship (ESIPS) offers organisations the opportunity to work with some of our highest achieving Engineering students in the final year of their studies.
The ESIPS program is designed to place our top students studying either an undergraduate engineering or advanced computing degree* or a Master of Professional Engineering within leading industry companies.
Our goal is to enrich the student’s learning experience by immersing them in industry, whilst offering companies the opportunity to work with talented young minds at an early stage in their career.
Over the course of a six-month full-time industry placement, each student involved in the program undertakes a high-level investigative project, based on the needs of their partner organisation.
Your organisation will benefit from the fresh ideas and enthusiasm this next generation of engineering, computing and project management leaders can bring to your team’s working environment.
Discover examples of previous high-level investigative projects (pdf, 219 KB) undertaken by our students on behalf of their partner organisations.
*ESIPS is unavailable to students studying a Bachelor of Project Management.
Please contact us for upcoming industry placement opportunities or partnership enquiries via engineering.esips@sydney.edu.au.
