Description

International students who have completed one semester of study can apply take a supervised workplace internship in their second semester for credit toward their MIB or MCom degree. Students will spend 160 hours during a semester working on a project in a business organisation under the guidance of a workplace mentor and an academic assessor. Students will gain experience of Australian workplace culture and environment while being involved in a range of activities such as research, planning, marketing and organisation within the context of a specific project. Students will be individually placed with suitable companies and the type of project will vary.

Placement and administration is through Macquarie International. Academic assessment is organised through the Graduate Accounting and Commerce Centre. The number of workplace internships available each semester is limited and selection of suitable candidates will be competitive. Students will need a minimum GPA of 3.00 and good written English. Students who satisfactorily complete the project will receive a pass in BUS880 Business Internship and four credit points toward their postgraduate degree. Only international students are eligible for an internship and it can only be taken after completing the first semester of academic study.
