Note that not all specialisations will have sufficient available credit points to allow students to complete ENGR90033. Please check the handbook entry for your course or contact your course coordinator.

Admission into or selection of one of the following:

• MC-BIOMENG Master of Biomedical Engineering
• MC-CIVENG Master of Civil Engineering
• MC-ELECENG Master of Electrical Engineering

• MC-MECHENG Master of Mechanical Engineering
• MC-MTRNENG Master of Mechatronics Engineering
• MC-SOFTENG Master of Software Engineering
• MC-IS Master of Information Systems
• MC-IT Master of Information Technology
• MC-IT100 Master of Information Technology
• MC-IT150 Master of Information Technology

Admission into or selection of one of the following:

• Biomedical specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering
• Civil specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering
• Electrical specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering
• Environmental specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering
• Mechanical specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering
• Mechanical with Business specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering
• Mechatronics specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering

• Structural specialisation (formal) in the MC-ENG Master of Engineering

There is an application process for this subject:

Students may apply for university-sourced internships through a competitive process, or source their own internships.

Students intending on using a self-sourced internship must apply to have it approved by the ENGR90033 subject coordinator by contacting engit-placements@unimelb.edu.au.

An application for a student-sourced internship must be made at least two weeks before the teaching period commencement date.

Students are likely to find the internship subject to be significantly more challenging than most other subjects due to the very high workload requirements of being on an industry placement, and the need to adapt to an industry environment. As such, students completing the internship subject as part of a full study load will need to manage their time very carefully.

Please do note, 'At Risk' students are not eligible to enrol in this subject.

Students should also avoid completing a 25-point industry-based final year project concurrently with the internship subject. Students who wish to do so should first discuss their plans with the Engineering and IT Placements team (engit-placements@unimelb.edu.au).

Certain degrees have options of specialisations. These specialisations can use up available electives. If you are considering a specialisation please seek course advice from STOP 1 and/or your Course Coordinator before considering the Internship subject (ie. before applying for any internships). If you enrol in the internship subject, you may later find that you have used up 25 points of electives, preventing you from taking certain specialisations. For that reason it is important to course plan very carefully.
