COMM5022 Industry Experience Program is a unique model that allows you to gain recognition for a self-sourced internship – whether they are opportunities in Australia, overseas or your home country.
Internships are an effective way to stand out in a competitive job market. Prospective employers are looking for graduates who can easily transition into the workplace, so the experience gained via internships is invaluable.
In COMM5022, you are required to combine practical work experience with academic workshops and formal assessment tasks throughout the term.
Internships need to fit into an academic term to be eligible for course credit so there’s just a few things to check before you submit an application for the course. A self-sourced internship is eligible if the position is relevant to your degree and approved by the UNSW Business School.
Things your employer should know:
Your company must agree to abide by the UNSW Work Integrated Learning Core Terms here and they are required to approve your placement before you are enrolled in COMM5022.
Let your supervisor know they will receive an email from the CA team verifying the position, then a second email from the Business Connect platform where they need to sign in and complete the WIL Agreement to approve your placement. Please note that you must provide a work email for your supervisor, and they must be able to communicate with us in English.
If your employer has any questions about the process, they can contact engagebusiness@unsw.edu.au
