This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2023 Units. All assessment changes will be published by 20th February 2023. All students are reminded to check the handbook at the beginning of semester to ensure they have the correct outline.
In this unit, students will undertake an internship with a public, private or not-for-profit organisation which is relevant to their academic studies. This will enable students to develop a broad range of work-related skills, knowledge and contacts which will enhance their technical and professional capabilities and career goals. Students must complete a minimum of 225 hours of work with a host organisation. The terms of the internship are flexible and may be negotiated between the student, Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and 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 enrolment into the course will not guarantee a place on the internship program. 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 RPL will be considered for this unit.
Must have passed 120 credit points.

Students will undertake, and be assessed on, authentic activities through engagement with industry and community partners.
Work done in an actual workplace in which the student applies discipline-specific knowledge and skills, supervised by an industry professional separate from an ECU campus or location.
Students will be required to participate in an on-campus or online induction on the requirements and procedures for completing an Internship, including documentation and risk management compliance. Student learning will be directed by the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and there will be ongoing liaison between the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and student to ensure effective performance in the program of work and achievement of learning outcomes during the Internship period. Students will need to maintain regular email contact and may be asked to participate in face-to-face, online or telephone meetings with the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer. Students are expected to generate ideas relating to their program of work by liaising with both the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and Workplace Supervisor on strategies for meeting expected outcomes and generating evidence of effective performance.

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.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
