In this unit, students will gain relevant work experience by undertaking an internship with a public, private or not-for-profit organisation which is relevant to their academic studies. They will undertake meaningful work that will enable them to apply disciplinary knowledge and skills. The opportunity will enable students to develop their professional capabilities and enhance their familiarity with working environments. Students must complete a minimum of 225 hours of work with a host organisation. Students will be expected to take responsibility for their own learning outcomes. Internship hosts will be secured through the School of Business and Law Work Integrated Learning team or can be organised by the students themselves. Any opportunities secured by students will be vetted to ensure they provide a meaningful learning experience. Terms of payment, if any, will be negotiated on an individual basis. Enrolment into this unit is by application ONLY and entry requires students to participate in a recruitment and selection process. As this unit focuses on the personal and professional development of the individual, no Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) will be considered for this unit.
Students must have passed a minimum of 180 credit points

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
