Handbook

This course offers you the opportunity to deepen and expand upon the environment and society change-making knowledge you have gained in previous IEST courses through applied experiential ‘in-context’ learning.  Using the flexibility of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) at UNSW, you will identify a partner organisation supervisor with whom you negotiate the terms and goals of your placement or project. In accordance with WIL policy, “partner organisation” can refer to those external to UNSW, such as industry and community, as well as to UNSW itself. The partner organisation supervisor is the person at the partner organisation responsible for supervising you and liaising with the course coordinator. Following approval of your internship or project practicum by the course coordinator, you will spend 105 hours working with your partner organisation. This is generally one or two days per week to fit around the 10-week term.

Note : To gain entry into this course, you must have achieved at least a credit (65%) average across three IEST courses.

You may undertake 12 UoC of practicum courses by enrolling in both IEST8001 and IEST8002. The courses may be taken concurrently or in different terms of your degree.
