Description

An internship placement is an opportunity to experience a professional work environment. Internships taken for credit are usually unpaid. You are expected to develop a good understanding of a sector, market or organisation. The work you submit will show an application of the tools, ideas or concepts of economics. You will be required to reflect critically on the requirements of transitioning from an academic to a work environment and the skills valued in a professional workplace. As these are economics placements, priority is given to economics majors.

Internship opportunities will be advertised from time to time and students will be invited to apply. Alternatively a student may propose a placement that they have found themselves and wish to leverage for credit. Please contact the Course Co-ordinator.
