For more information on Science internships, please visit http://science.anu.edu.au/study/internships This course provides an opportunity for high-achieving science students to apply and develop professional skills and attributes in an area of their choice. This course offers opportunities to network with professional organisations such as local and national government and industry, and to acquire skills, knowledge and professional attributes which will facilitate future employment and career outcomes. The internship will be under the direct supervision of a workplace professional, with access to an appropriate academic within the ANU College of Science or ANU College of Health and Medicine. Students are generally expected to have already completed Science courses relevant to their placement topic. The internship is expected to be on a topic of professional interest to the student and the supervising workplace.

Students are required to attend an Internship Induction prior to the placement, and attend Fortnightly Internship Cohort Meetings facilitated by the Course Convenor throughout their placement. Work Integrated Learning Placements All students engage with WIL partners (internal/external) as a major component of the course Other Information Students wishing to undertake a Science Internship can find more information about available placements and frequently asked questions on the Science Internship web page . To enhance learning and to access a wider array of perspectives, and to complete the Career Development Reflection, students are required to attend at least 10 hours of career development activities some of which will be outside of the course such as public lectures, conference presentations, etc. Students will be asked to formulate their own schedule of events in line with their availability, topic interests and location. These events can be offered in person, online, or a combination of both.
Where appropriate, students will be assigned additional readings by their ANU or Host Supervisors depending on their project and background knowledge.
