Sustainability internship

ENS5930 (12 credit points) is the unit for those who wish to undertake a professional internship during a semester of the advanced practice year of the Master of Environment and Sustainability. You will undertake a project defined by a host organisation domestically or internationally with the approval of the unit and specialisation coordinator. The placement will be six week full-time or part-time equivalent hours. It may be an affiliated arrangement where a consultancy or research project is carried out in association with the organisation and physical location at the organisation is not required. Host organisations may be from a diverse range of industries and sectors, including government departments, private industry and not-for-profit organisations. You will communicate the project findings to the host organisation in the format specified by the host organisation, such as a consultation paper, report, commentary, manual, submission or speech. The host organisation provides field supervision, and the faculty provides academic supervision. The unit includes some scheduled activities alongside the project work to enhance and develop professional skills. Anyone from any specialisation can undertake this unit if they fulfil the academic requirements and gain approval from the appropriate coordinators.
