The course requires the involvement of students in practical projects for 4 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 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.
