Internships in Social Research - SSCI301
This unit is subject to a quota. Limited places are available. Please refer to the Faculty for further information
This internship unit 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 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. 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. Students in the Bachelor of Social Science cannot count SSCI301 as part of their Sociology Major. Please note a maximum of 50 students can enroll each semester and priority will be given to Bachelor of Social Science students for whom the unit is compulsory, and to those in their final semester.
In order to enrol in this unit, please submit an enquiry via ask.mq.edu.au to request an application form prior to submission of a Special Approval request. Applications close two weeks prior to the start of session.
