Internship

The MGSM Management Internship is a 10 week work placement for a MGSM MBA/Masters student. The Internship gives students at advanced stages of their postgraduate degrees an opportunity to work in an Australian organisation on a ‘real time’ business project. The Interns will work independently or as part of a team from the organisation under the supervision of an MGSM academic supervisor and the client sponsor. At the conclusion of the Internship the student must present a report to the Sponsor and MGSM. The report forms the main basis of the student’s assessment for inclusion on their academic record. MGSM Interns are expected to work at a high level and have advanced communication, research, writing, consulting and project management skills. To be successful Management Interns must navigate a complex array of pressures and challenges, including: the impact of organisational politics; accessing accurate or complete data or meaningful metrics; diverse stakeholder interests and of course the pressure of a looming deadline. Accordingly, entry to the Internship is competitive based on GPA and overall suitability of the student to the project. Since the inception of the Internship Program at MGSM students have worked in a diverse range of industries.

The Internship is both a challenging and rewarding Capstone unit for self motivated and career oriented MGSM students.

Prerequisite: Minimum completion of six units (24 Credit Points) + GPA 3
Note: Students have the opportunity to apply for an Internship.
