Overview

The Professional Internship unit offers students the opportunity to apply their learning in this course, along with their previous learning and experience in a task-oriented work integrated learning environment. Students may use the opportunity to extend their existing areas of expertise and/or to work and learn in a new area of professional media and communication. Students keep a reflective journal of their internship activities and produce an evaluative report considering their experiences and contributions against a variety of measures, including the organisational strategic plan and evaluation methodologies.
