The Industrial Project: China unit is completed independently, with the guidance of supervisors at Murdoch and a company mentor in China. Australian citizens must possess an Australian passport valid for at least six months from the date of departure from Perth, with eligibility for a visa to enter the People's Republic of China. Non-Australian citizens must possess a passport valid for at least six months from the date of departure from Perth, with eligibility for a visa to enter the People's Republic of China, and multiple entry visas for re-entry into Australia if the student intends to return to Australia before returning to their home country. The program concludes officially on the last scheduled date in China, and students are not required to return to Australia. They may remain in China or return directly to their home country or other destinations. All students are required to pay an additional program charge that includes inter-city and intra-city transport to company seminars whilst in China. This charge is payable in three instalments, the first as a non-refundable deposit no later than the end of Week 2 in Trimester 1, and two additional instalments no later than the end of Week 2 in each of Trimesters 2 and 3. This additional charge will be published annually with the appropriate tuition fee information. Students are covered by Murdoch University for travel insurance.

The availability of this course will be subject to sufficient enrolment numbers. Murdoch reserves the right to make changes to the travel program at any time, should conditions require it. Enrolment in this course will require students to travel overseas to China. Therefore students must be aware of Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) travel advisories prior to their departure by checking the following link: http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/ Where the intended overseas location has a high level travel advisory in place the student can opt not to travel to that destination. Instead they can seek alternative arrangements as determined by the Program Chair and approved by the Dean of School. All students must complete the University's online Travel Register prior to departure.
