Design Internship provides you with a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunity with design-oriented businesses and organisations. You will experience how to contribute to design practice in a business, government or community context. You will learn about professional design practice by working alongside experienced designers within a host enterprise.

This course may be undertaken in a variety of modes that are appropriate to your learning experience. Your internship will be of 80 hours duration. To enable flexibility with securing an internship, you can elect to extend your internship duration by an additional 40 hours. These additional hours will not be assessed but will be covered by RMIT insurance.

Your internship can be spread out over several months or as an intensive immersion into a particular setting. Your internship can be in Australia or abroad; and can be remote or face-to-face. As there are no face-to-face teaching hours this course may be able to be completed entirely remotely.

You must secure an internship before you can be enrolled into the GRAP2571 Design Internship course.

To learn how to secure an internship, please refer to the Overview of Learning Activities in this document.

Once you are enrolled, you can commence your internship. You will be added to the Design Internship Canvas Shell that details three online assessment tasks that you need to complete by the due dates.
