COURSE OPTIONS

There are three course options for the Australian Internship Program.

Australian National Internship A-18 units (undergraduate - ANIP 3004/graduate ANIP 6504) This combines coursework on current issues and the policy making process with an 11 week part-time placement. The coursework program is based on a series of seminars presented by ex-cabinet Ministers, journalists, lobbyists and senior public servants. A research report up to 8,000 words, oral presentation on the research report and a written report or oral presentation on the course work is completed. It is recommended that overseas students with little knowledge of the Australian political system, whether graduate or undergraduate, enrol in this course. The specific content of the coursework component varies from semester to semester, depending on issues prominent at the time and the availability of guest speakers.

A full-time placement is four days a week. A part-time placement is two days a week. You may not necessarily spend all of that two or four days in your Canberra office; your research may require you to spend time at libraries or conducting interviews. You might be sent to a conference, or even have to travel out of Canberra!
