In this unit students will undertake indepth internships, ideally in the workplace. Interns will work with industry supervisors to apply their disciplinary and academic learning in real-world contexts, develop employability skills and strengthen the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to and excel in their professions. Internships will only be available to students who demonstrate readiness to learn in the workplace and are accepted into the internship prior to enrolment.

Due to the variety of industries this unit caters for, students may be required to organise their own internship opportunities with support from the Faculty of Arts and Design Work Integrated Learning Team and unit staff.
