To be considered for the internship, students must have:
Completed at least three IRPG units with an average GPA of 3.0/4.0; and

In addition, internship placements are competitive and placements cannot be guaranteed.Partnerships are arranged on a best-fit basis,where the needs of the organisation and the student are carefully compared and matched.Organisations typically require applicants to attend an interview.Students may source their own internship placement, subject to approval from the Convenor of the unit.
