The course will require involvement of students in practical projects for 8 weeks via placement in innovative workplaces. Projects may be undertaken on either a part-time or full-time basis. Generally projects will be with businesses in Australia or overseas, but some projects may be offered at the University or related institutions. Preparation and presentation of a report is required at the end of the placement period. The placement may be completed during a vacation period or across a session depending on the placement/project undertaken. Students may incur travel costs, particularly if undertaking placements overseas. The placements are supervised by appropriate academic advisors. Internet based interactions with the supervisor and other students will assist in the integration of experiences with previous theory and in the preparation of the project report.

Note: This course is only available to students enrolled in the Diploma in Innovation Management program.
