An information systems internship (or project) that enables real world work experience or the (further) development of knowledge and/or expertise in information systems related subjects. Development of problem solving, reflection, synthesis, project management, risk management and communication skills.
The information systems internship takes two basic forms. It may be project-based, whereby a student undertakes a specific project for a host as agreed to by the University, the student and the host, or it may be work experience-based, whereby the student spends time in an organisation undertaking relevant and appropriate work activities. However, these latter students would need to produce a negotiated deliverable during this time. Students may propose an internship themselves. Any such proposals must meet the criteria for the course and be approved by the Head of Department and the host.
Students who complete the internship course will achieve the following outcomes:1. Develop a project proposal for the internship including a Project and Risk Management Plan and expected deliverables.2. Complete the internship to a standard that would be acceptable in industry.3. Reflect on the knowledge and skills that were needed to complete the internship, including: (a) how they were developed during the internship, and (b) how they relate to other papers completed.4. Present the findings from the internship (including deliverables and learning) in different forms (i.e. Reflection of Learning Report and Final Presentation).
