MMCC3160 – Arts Management Internship
2021 – Session 2, Special circumstances, North Ryde
Session 2 Learning and Teaching Update
The decision has been made to conduct study online for the remainder of Session 2 for all units WITHOUT mandatory on-campus learning activities. Exams for Session 2 will also be online where possible to do so.
This is due to the extension of the lockdown orders and to provide certainty around arrangements for the remainder of Session 2. We hope to return to campus beyond Session 2 as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Some classes/teaching activities cannot be moved online and must be taught on campus. You should already know if you are in one of these classes/teaching activities and your unit convenor will provide you with more information via iLearn. If you want to confirm, see the list of units with mandatory on-campus classes/teaching activities.
Visit the MQ COVID-19 information page for more detail.

Unit description
This unit is intended to provide students with hands-on arts management experience within the creative and cultural industries. Through project-based and work-integrated learning activities, this unit integrates academic and industry knowledge in order to maximize students' employability in this sector. In order to fulfill the requirements of this unit, students undertake a 45 hour (minimum) Internship/PACE activity working under supervision. Students choose from 3 options for this unit. Option 1 involves student-initiated placements; students can source their own Internship/PACE activity and propose this to the University for approval. Option 2 features University-assisted placements; the University can assist students with opportunities. Option 3 involves PACE partners being invited onto campus to work with student groups on a project the group(s) have been assigned by the partner organisation(s). Students seeking to enrol in this unit should contact the Arts PACE office (pace.arts@mq.edu.au) at least six weeks before the commencement of session. |

- ULO4: analyse and reflect on your personal development during the internship and your progression to employment.
General Assessment Information
Please note that the University and the Faculty of Arts have launched a new assessment policy effective as of 1 July 2021. This new policy particularly affects LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS.
The Faculty policy in relation to late assessment submissions is as follows:
Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, (a) a penalty for lateness will apply – 10 marks out of 100 credit will be deducted per day for assignments submitted after the due date – and (b) no assignment will be accepted seven days (incl. weekends) after the original submission deadline. No late submissions will be accepted for timed assessments – e.g. quizzes, online tests, etc.
To be very clear:
- Unless you have applied for special consideration and had your application approved, for each day your assignment is late, 10 marks will be deducted. For example, if you submit your assignment 7 days late, 70 marks will be deducted, which means you will fail that assignment.
- If your assignment is more than 7 days late (including weekends), you will get 0 for your assignment.
These are serious penalties that will substantially alter your final grade and even determine whether you pass or fail this unit. Please make every effort to submit your assignment by the due date.
If you find you cannot submit your assignment on time, please apply for Special Consideration through AskMQ. Make sure you read Macquarie University's policy regarding Special Consideration requests before you apply:
