Course description

This is a restricted entry course. Internships undertaken to gain credit for POLS3801 must be pre-approved by the course coordinator. To be eligible to apply to POLS3801 students must (a) be enrolled in a program in which POLS3801 can be credited, (b) completed at least #12 units of POLS courses, and (c) achieved a GPA of 5 or higher for these courses. Eligible applicants are not automatically guaranteed a place in the course. The Internship is based on a mutually agreed partnership between the student and an external organisation. Interns are expected to carry out a project on a topic/issue of direct interest to the external organisation. Established internship partners include: Queensland Parliament, Queensland Government Departments, MPs and Senator's Electoral Offices, and other national and international, government and non-government agencies. All additional costs incurred by students undertaking this course remain the responsibility of the student. Please note: The summer semester offering of this course is available to students accepted to participate in the Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme.
