Work-integrated learning in education and research

University West implements work-integrated learning (WIL) in its education and research. The university sees both theoretical and practical knowledge as crucial in education and knowledge creation. Through WIL, students get an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-life situations and are able to bring back practical experiences into the classroom, thereby improving learning and the student's grasp of his or her field.

University West conducts extensive and internationally recognized research within the field of work-integrated learning and has a unique doctoral programme i WIL. The university is also a member of WACE, an international organisation aimed at strengthening cooperative and work-integrated learning around the world.[2]
