Work integrated learning (WIL) is an essential component of the educational experience at UBSS. WIL is an approach to education that seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills by providing students with opportunities to engage in real-world learning experiences. This approach enables students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world problems and challenges, thereby enhancing their employability and preparing them for successful careers in their chosen fields. Through WIL, UBSS students have access to a wide range of industry partners and internship opportunities that enable them to gain practical skills, build professional networks, and learn from experienced professionals in their fields. Overall, WIL is a critical aspect of the UBSS educational experience, providing students with a strong foundation for success in the modern business world.
