Syllabus

The goal of an IS internship is to provide work experience that is of value to the organisation and also augments the student's formal IT education. The IT industry, including the professional body and employers, clearly recognises the advantage of students gaining practical experience to complement their formal education before entering the profession. Students will use the internship opportunity to apply the theories and concepts they have learnt at University to real-life situations. Students will be able to use this experience to reflect on their field of study, as well as develop their professional and personal skills.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate practical experience in the tasks, roles, techniques, tools and skills associated with information sciences; and

2. Evaluate and report on the relative merits of alternative approaches and their application in the field of information sciences.
