Commerce Internship Programme
New Subject COMM390
This subject provides an opportunity for students to integrate and apply their university knowledge in an industry context. It has been designed for students undertaking any Commerce major and has a primary focus on work experiential learning.
This subject is positioned as a third year subject with a minimum prerequisite requirement of 48 credit points at 100 level. It is offered as a 6-credit point subject for Autumn 2009. The subject will be available to all onshore Commerce students, including both Domestic and International students, on a competitive basis.
The internship requires the student to work for 12 days in a pre-selected organisation. Students cannot independently choose their organisation, though expressions of interest from any organisation in the Internship Programme should be directed to Dr Mike Clements, see Information for Organisations. These 12 working days will be generally spread over six weeks with two days per week. However, this may change depending on the student and organisational requirements.
