The HUMS 2000 course is an elective in the UNSW Arts & 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.
