Submit your Not-for-credit Internship for Assessment

Submit your paid employment opportunity for assessment as part of your Engineering Practice Hurdle requirement.

The below information will be used to assess your employment opportunity and its appropriateness for the Not-for-credit Internship, Engineering Practice Hurdle requirement.

We are unable to backdate internships that have already been started or completed. This is due to the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) requiring that Work Integrated Learning experiences at Universities be monitored as a duty of care. Within the Faculty of Education and IT (FEIT) we do this through an initial approval and contract process, followed by periodic placement updates

If accepted, an agreement will be sent to your employer to sign. If this is returned by your employer, you will be approved to commence logging your hours and completing the activities within the Not-for-credit Internship option.

If you have any questions, please contact the team at engit-placements@unimelb.edu.au

Fields with * are required.
