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 a management-related discipline. 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 management placements, priority is given to students taking a major in either Human Resource Management, International Business, Management, Operations and Supply Chain Management, or Strategy and Entrepreneurship.

There are five parts to the assessment. Details of the specific requirements (and marking guidelines) for each assessment are outlined in separate documents available on Learn.(i) Proposal The student will submit a proposal of the project (or their understanding of the project) to the course supervisor who will use it to assess the academic merits of the project. The proposal will also need to be signed off by the project host to indicate that the student’s and host’s understanding of the project are consistent. (ii) Final PresentationAt the end of the course the student is required to make a 15-20 minute presentation that encapsulates what has been achieved during the course including a combination of the deliverables and the contents of the reflection on learning report.(iii) Project OutputsThis assesses the work that has been completed. The students are expected to produce evidence of the quality of the work they have completed as part of the internship. This evidence can take the form of artefacts created (e.g. software, reports), demonstration of work completed during their final presentation, and written feedback from the host confirming and evaluating what has been completed. (iv) Reflection of Learning ReportThe student is required to write a 4,500 word reflection on learning report that includes:• Aim and Outcomes of Project• Comparison of Theory (“UC Learning”) with Practice• Evaluation of other courses (prior knowledge developed at UC)• Self-Reflection(v) Host Organisation EvaluationIn addition, the host organisation will complete an evaluation of the student’s performance using the attached forms.GradingThis course has a Pass / Fail assessment system.
