The purpose of this paper is to specifically examine work-based learning in relation to work-based research, and to identify evidence of both in the Professional Studies Program as conceived and implemented at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in Australia. The paper is organised into two main sections: an explanation of work-based research; and a description of the Professional Studies Program at USQ and its relation to work-based learning and research.
