Course description

A compulsory course in the Bachelor of Environmental Management (Honours) program, where students are required to complete a minimum of 270 hours of placement in an organisation external to the University. Students will work with their placement provider to develop and complete a specific project which is both meaningful to the organisation and of sufficient technical content to meet the academic requirements of the course. This project will allow students to gain practical field-related experience while developing and enhancing skills in report writing and project management. The industry placement course is a cornerstone in the Bachelor of Environmental Management (Honours) degree, allowing students to apply what they've learned in their studies and providing them with academic direction heading into the final year of study. Students also gain insight into their career goals while acquiring skills sought by today's employers. In return, placement providers benefit from access to highly motivated students who can focus on a specific project and provide a cost-effective injection of fresh ideas to the organisation. Placements for this course are managed through UQ's placement management system, InPlace. For planning purposes, you must register your intentions on InPlace to advise us which semester you would like to enrol in this course. All eligible students will then apply for advertised placement opportunities in a competitive selection process. To access the advertised placement opportunities, you must register your intentions on InPlace by the following deadlines: 1 March to enrol in semester 2 and Summer semester of the same year. Failure to register by this deadline may result in missing out on the placement application process, and subsequently not being eligible to enrol in this course. You can access InPlace via My.UQ, or through the Manage My Program page. Click `Staff and Students' on the homepage and log in using your student student login details.
