Internship Stream

Internship stream students must complete the following compulsory unit:

COIT20276 Postgraduate ICT Internship

To be eligible for this unit, you must pass all of your units on the first attempt, apply for the internship, and undergo a series of interviews with prospective host organisations. Generally, as an internship student, you will spend 32 hours per week for 10 consecutive weeks with the internship host organisation applying the knowledge you have gained over the course of your study before returning to campus for the presentation of your learning journey. Assessment will need to be completed throughout the term. Internships cannot be taken at your current employer, or in any other host organisation where a conflict of interest may arise.

The internship is taken in the last term of study and to assist internship students in completing all units before the last study term, some units are offered in all three teaching terms. You are strongly advised to consult Course Advisers at the beginning of each term regarding the units you intend to take to ensure you can complete the course within the shortest possible time.
