Thank you for your interest in SOCY3001 Research Internship

This course gives students the opportunity to work closely with a member of academic staff in the disciplines of Sociology, Criminology or Demography on a research project in a field of interest. Students will develop real-world research skills and get a sense of how high-level academic research is conducted. The project, to be negotiated with a supervisor, will most often be related to work already underway by the faculty member, and the student will be offered the opportunity to join the research team.

Enrolment in the course requires:

1. the agreement of a supervisor and
2. the completion of an application form (by July 1st).

Each year there is a list of internship opportunities. If you are interested in applying for one of these, you should make contact with the named academic. It is also possible to approach an academic you have been taught by or are interested in to see if they would be interested in supervising you on another topic.

You need to organise supervision during Semester 1 and not leave it to the last minute! If this process is proving difficult, please contact the course convenor (celia.roberts@anu.edu.au) who will be able to assist.
