Course description
This is a restricted entry course and the availability of internships is limited. The Internship is based on a mutually agreed partnership between the student and an external organisation. The student agrees to carry out a research project on a topic/issue of direct interest to the external organisation. In return, the external organisation agrees to provide the support necessary for the project to be completed within a definite time-frame. Secondary supervision is also provided by an academic staff member from the School. Established internship partners include: Australian federal parliamentarians, the parliament of Queensland and a number of other national and international, government and non-government agencies. All additional costs incurred by students undertaking this course remain the responsibility of the student. Information on how to apply can be found on the School website http://www.polsis.uq.edu.au/pols3801-internship
