Internships in Social Research - SOC301
This unit is open to all social science, arts, media, business, health and other students who have completed SOC 224 (or SOC234) or SSC200 and have 39 credit points. It is an accredited Participation Unit. Our internship is an exciting opportunity to gain practical experience undertaking applied or policy related research while working in a social research team or a community research setting. A practical supervised research placement, supported by on campus workshops, will give you an opportunity to undertake social research first hand and gain valuable professional experience. As well, it encourages you to exercise creative thinking and problem solving, while developing personal confidence and professional contacts. You will also learn about alternative modes of learning which take place outside the classroom. The internship is usually undertaken two or more days a week over a semester, but may, in some cases, be undertaken as a block. Placements are organised for students in a community service agency, a commercial social research company, in state or local government, an academic research setting and may be done overseas with PACE International.
