Information for students, go to the Professions Internship Program

Students are expected to be present in the nominated workplace for a minimum of the equivalent of 20 business days. This may take place over a duration that is convenient to the organisation and the student involved (e.g. 2 days per week over 10 weeks or 4 weeks full-time).

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Identify skills and capabilities that intersect effectively with the needs of industry.
2. Apply and practice good communication skills in a variety of professional and/or cultural contexts.
3. Reflect and evaluate on experiences that might lead to future employment.
4. Use communication and presentation skills to provide briefs, reports and presentations in line with current professional standards.

Any modifications to assessment dates should be negotiated directly with the academic supervisor.

• Students must complete the program to the satisfaction of their host organisation as well as an academic supervisor to be eligible to pass this course, otherwise it will result in a fail.
• Extensions to the due date of individual assessment may be granted under special circumstances. Students applying for an extension based on medical or compassionate reasons must visit their medical practitioner, with the approved University Application for Assessment Extension, and have the medical practitioner complete it. A normal doctor's certificate will not be accepted.
• Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process.
• Assessment rubrics are provided in the Professions Internship Handbook and Course Guide.

Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or compassionate reasons. All requests for extensions must be submitted before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late.

Return of Assignments
Lecturers aim to mark and return assignments to students within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback. Students are responsible for collecting their marked assignments from their academic supervisor.
