Skills development
The goal of the IS Internship (Extended) PG unit is to provide extended 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 extended practical experience to complement their formal education before entering the profession. Students will use the extended internship opportunity to apply the theories and concepts they have learnt at University to real-life situations. Students will be able to use this extended internship experience to reflect on their field of study, as well as develop their professional and personal skills. Each student is expected to complete 120 hours of industry placement over the duration of the unit. The timetable is negotiated between the stduent and the intern hosting organisation.

Academic integrity
Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.
To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.
Use of Text-Matching Software
The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
Participation requirements
A 120-hours placement in the intern hosting organisation is compulsory.
