The HUMS 2000 course is an elective in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences programs and the Criminology major stream in the Bachelor of Psychological Sciences program. It may be taken at the end of a first year of study and offers students work experience in a range of organisations utilising social research and policy and humanities skills.

The vocational placement provides work experience at a host organisation for 14 full days (105 working hours). This practical experience is accompanied by a reading program. The reading component examines different approaches to the study of organisations, their structures, functions and policies, as well as links these issues to the placement experience.


Note: Students must have achieved a credit level or better average across the courses in their degree. The internship may be included as part of a major stream in the Faculty programs with the permission of the relevant Convenor.
