Unit description
The Management Internship is a 10-week research-based work placement giving students at advanced stages in their MBA an opportunity to work in an Australian organisation on a 'real time' business project. Interns work independently or as part of a team from the organisation under the supervision of an MQ Business School academic and a key contact or client sponsor. At the conclusion of the internship the student will typically present and then submit a report to the sponsor and the Business School.. Interns are required to have advanced communication, research, writing, consulting and project management skills. The challenging projects demand high levels of commitment in time and a high level of intellectual rigour. |
