    Learning and Teaching Methods

    The subject will be taught in three parts:

    1. Internship Preparation – completed during the first six weeks of a semester. This content will be taught through a combination of traditional face to face lectures and online tutorials/seminars
    2. Planning Work Based Internship & Provision. This will be completed in weeks 7–12 of a semester. This will involve student selection of area of interest and matching with an industry mentor and host organization. During this time students will prepare an internship Project Proposal and update their eportfolio under the guidance of the mentor.
    3. Work Based Project Delivery and Reporting – completed over a 12–16 week timeframe scheduled with a host organization. It will involve weekly meetings with the Mentor, project investigation, e-portfolio updates and drafting the project delivery report.

    The subject is supported by the University’s Learning Management System, which provides the repository for lecture and reading resources and facilitation of group assignment collaboration.
