Projects are consultancy based and require a clear scope discussed between the business host, the student, and their Academic Supervisor. Projects are typically not based onsite. An internship involves a project that is typically based onsite with some level of supervision by the host organisation. The scope of both the internship and project must be defined in order students to meet their academic requirements.
