Industry Experience Placement Program
Each year, DSTG offers a limited number of long-term placement opportunities of six or 12 months in length.
The Industry Experience Placement (IEP) provides undergraduate and postgraduate students currently enrolled in a relevant Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) degree the opportunity to complete a compulsory industry placement component as part of their degree. The IEP offers work placement of six or 12 months with Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG).
The IEP provides successful applicants with the opportunity to gain industry experience in a large research organisation. Successful applicants are supervised by DSTG staff, who work closely with the university to ensure that academic requirements are met. Students will receive on-going support payments for the duration of the placement.
Projects may be available at any DSTG site across Australia.

Applications will open mid-year in 2022.
