You will have the choice of two pathways. Pathway A involves a self-organised industry internship of 100 hours. You will gain experience in your chosen industry sector by working with a supervisor in an internal or external host organisation. All placements must be approved and all paperwork completed prior to commencement. Pathway B allows you to design and undertake a self-directed research or professional development project, as approved by the Course Coordinator. You will identify an industry-relevant research question or professional development strategy related to your career goals and industry interests.
