Unit description
This unit is designed for students who wish to undertake an internship with an intercultural or international focus and is offered on a pass/fail basis. Students are welcome to contact the Faculty of Arts PACE staff to discuss whether the unit is suitable for them. This unit provides students with the opportunity to gain invaluable work experience related to their degree and develop intercultural awareness and competencies. Students intending to enrol in this unit will need to have sourced an opportunity which will allow them to develop their intercultural engagement skills, ideally within an organisation that has an international profile, mission, or structure. The internship must be organised prior to the start of the study period. Contact Faculty of Arts PACE staff (via email at arts.pace@mq.edu.au) with details of your proposed internship at least 6 weeks before the first week of the relevant session. Late applications will not be accepted unless there are documented extenuating circumstances preventing organisation of an internship and completion of the application process before the commencement of the relevant session of enrolment. Visit Employability Connect for important information on this unit including required preparation and closing dates for PACE activities. |

Late Assessment Submission Penalty
Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (of the total possible mark) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a mark of 0 (zero) will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11.55pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical issue.
This late penalty will apply to non-timed sensitive assessment (incl essays, reports, posters, portfolios, journals, recordings etc). Late submission of time sensitive tasks (such as tests/exams, performance assessments/presentations, scheduled practical assessments/labs etc) will only be addressed by the unit convenor in a Special consideration application. Special Consideration outcome may result in a new question or topic.
