Students undertake an internship in a scientific or science communication workplace relevant to the student's career plans and science focus. The internship placement may be outside the University, or the student may pair up with a scientific researcher at UNSW. The intern will benefit from working with a mentor who permits them access to observe and discuss research in progress, policy issues under debate, or products being developed for commercialisation. The course coordinator will assist students to write and/ or produce a series of pieces that explain the character of the research, its primary aims, and its potential contribution to the development of a scientific field and the community at large. With the help of the course coordinator, the student will produce a series of reports on the scientific activities there, reports that are suitable for popular and technical audiences. Students will engage in regular meetings of their internship cohort to share insights and broaden their professional networks.
