    Engineering has 12 weeks full time.

    I don’t know if it’s addressed by the review but TAFE certs often have placement reqs.

    Law has something, there was a scandal a few years ago v where students were paying huge sums for placements at some institutions.

      Engineering, at least at UQ where I did my degree, requires you do 60 days of work, but there’s generally an expectation that you will be paid during that work. You’re doing that work for private companies finding places yourself, so they kind of have to treat you as a normal intern (which in Australia, means being paid). It’s different from the placements that the uni themselves organise with government departments like happens in medicine and education.
