Project description

This unit provides an opportunity to develop leadership capabilities in the context of professional and community engagement with a local or international internship or project in a not-for-profit organisation, government agency, company, or other industry partner.

Subject to demand, the unit includes a separate research internship stream for students who meet GPA requirements. This unit is a designated PACE unit. Applications are open to undergraduate students in any course who meet eligibility requirements. Applications are competitive and places are limited. Students may apply for a PACE internship or seek approval to enrol after finding their own internship if it meets PACE criteria. For local internships, students are advised to review internship preparation and application information and closing dates in the MQBS section of PACEWISE on iLearn at least 6 months before applying. For further information contact the MQBS PACE team.
