Monash Sourced Placements are unpaid opportunities for students eligible to undertake these as academic units.
The IE team find placements that are in the following 9 general placement categories:
There are many variations to these general categories and we have over 400 partner host organisations so a wide range of options are available.
There is NO obligation for hosts to set assignments for students. Assessment is arranged by faculty. Students may seek advice from the host around their assignments, but there is no obligation for hosts to be involved in academic assessments. Hosts will be asked to complete a survey at the end of the placement.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have available credit points in your course to fit your IE unit. IE units can usually be taken in place of elective or capstone units, or a combination of both.
We encourage you to use the Monash University handbook from the year you started your course for guidance. To access accurate course advice and a new course plan, please contact the Monash University Course Advice team.
You will need to provide your updated resume. Please save the file as a Word document and name the file as:
