ABLEINT 3001 - ABLE Internship Level III

North Terrace Campus - Quadmester 4 - 2025

Students spend 120-150 hours working in the private, public, community, business, not-for-profit or arts sectors. This provides the student with an opportunity to experience a hands-on professional environment in which to observe and apply their knowledge and skills from their degree. Internships may be project-based and/or reflect day-to-day activities of the host organisation. Students may have the option of completing a remote internship with an organisation based in South 最新糖心Vlog or elsewhere. The internship is supported by a preliminary half-day seminar focusing on career readiness and professional preparation. Students can apply for internship opportunities advertised through the university, or may be able to source their own internship. Final placement will be dependent on the availability of a host organisation, successful application to the host organisation and completion of all required paperwork before the commencement of the internship. Students cannot self-enrol in this course, and will be enrolled by the Internships Team after securing their approved internship. For inquiries about internship processes and timelines, please contact the Internships Team (internships@adelaide.edu.au). Students must complete the program to the satisfaction of their host organisation as well as an academic supervisor to be eligible to pass this course.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
