Course description

This course offers students the opportunity to interact with relevant professionals in the field of marine studies during an industry placement. The course consists of 8 weeks of continuous or equivalent flexible, structured, technical experience in an organisation or institute (private, public and not-for-profit organizations and research centres). Students are encouraged to make contact with suitable organisations before seeking approval to enrol in this course. Students completing in a single semester must enrol in MARS4010. Students completing the course over two semesters must enrol in MARS4011 if commencing in semester 1 and MARS4012 if commencing in semster 2.Completing the course over 2 semesters allows for flexibility in commencement dates for students and industry partners (e.g. to take into account seasonality of work conducted by the relevant organization). Students are still required to complete 8 continuous weeks of placement and dates for assessment items will be determined according to commencement dates.
