ATS3213 · Media communication professional placement

Overview

This advanced, final-year unit will contribute to your career development by providing you with an opportunity to complete a major, "hands-on", real-world project that integrates knowledge and skills gained throughout the course in a professional setting. This project will take the form of an individual industry internship - a work experience-based project jointly defined by a host partner organisation and the unit coordinator, undertaken in Australia or internationally. You will be required to recollect, synthesize, and apply knowledge and skills related to your professional media learning project in a reflective project report. The host partner organisation will appoint a field supervisor for the project although the unit's Chief Examiner remains the principal assessor for the unit.
