The Postgraduate Internship subject is a capstone Work Integrated Learning (WIL) subject
for students in the Master of Science (Professional). It gives students first-hand
professional work experience in a relevant science discipline combined with employability
development activities to produce job and career ready graduates. The subject requires
students to further develop, apply and demonstrate their professional competencies
in an applied context under the direction of a supervisor from a relevant industry,
government or not-for-profit organisation. Students will complete a minimum of 420
hours on the internship project plus an additional 100 hours on skill and employability
development workshops, activities and assessment tasks, to a total of 520 hours, across
13 weeks. Students are required to prepare and submit an Internship/Project Plan and
a final Internship/Project report. Students will also prepare an e-portfolio of their
internship experiences, which will include a job success profile, an internship development
plan, reflections on their skill development and learning, assets/artefacts generated
during the internship and a post-internship Personal Employability Proposition. On
completion of the internship, students will present a summary of their internship
experience portfolio to a panel including an HR recruiter/employer, a JCU academic
and an employability specialist. They will also receive an Industry Supervisor Evaluation.
Enrolment conditions: This subject is intended to be taken in the last semester of
the MSc Professional course. Students must complete the pre-requisite unit SC5200
in their preceding semesters. Students undertaking their project overseas, or away
from the main JCU campus's are responsible for their own travel and accommodation
expenses (unless this is provided by the workplace organisation). JCU student insurance
can be used to cover travel and workplace insurance requirements, upon application.
There are additional charges for this subject; please contact the School for details.
