Course description
This is a restricted entry course.

The Internship is based on a mutually agreed partnership between the student and an external organisation. Interns are expected to carry out a project on a topic/issue of direct interest to the external organisation. Established internship partners include: Queensland Parliament, Queensland Government Departments, MPs and Senator's Electoral Offices, and other national and international, government and non-government agencies. All additional costs incurred by students undertaking this course remain the responsibility of the student.
Please note: Students accepted to participate in the UQ Embassy Internship Program in Summer semester may be eligible to enrol in POLS3801 in Semester 1 or Semester 2. Further information including how to apply is available here.
