Students enrolled in this subject will complete an internship of a minimum of 20 days full-time placement with an external organisation in the architectural, urban and cultural heritage field. Students will be supervised by the Subject Coordinator in collaboration with a designated party at the host organisation. They will work across a range of tasks relevant to the organisation's objectives and will develop and complete a specific project in discussion with the host organisation and the Subject Coordinator. The Internship experience will enable students to extend and apply the knowledge acquired through the MUCH coursework subjects, will provide students with a valuable professional experience, and will extend their professional networks. The internship will facilitate the application of knowledge acquired through coursework to a professional workplace, and will give students the opportunity to critically reflect on their experience in a professional setting.
Note:
Students are responsible for identifying a suitable work placement to be approved by the course coordinator. Upon approval, students are required to complete all the steps found at https://edsc.unimelb.edu.au/graduate/subject-options/internships-vocational-placements. This should ideally be completed at least 2 weeks before the start of semester.
Contact the course coordinator for further advice on identifying a placement opportunity.
The suitability of the host organisation must be approved by a subject coordinator. Approvals and formal agreements should ideally be completed at least 2 weeks before the start of semester and will not be accepted if initiated later than two weeks after the commencement of the semester.
