Course overview
Students spend 150 hours working in the private, public or community sector in South Australia, in one of three streams - Industry, Creativity or Research. The internship is supported by a regular seminar program focusing on career readiness and broad-ranging professional skills. Internships are generally self-sourced, but students can also be supported to locate placements related to their area of study where possible. Final placement will be dependent on the availability of a host organisation, successful application to the host organisation and completion of all required paperwork before the commencement of the internship. Students should contact the Arts Internships Office at least three months before the beginning of the enrolment semester to maximise opportunities for securing an internship.
