Arts Internship | Federation University

VACAP3001 Arts Internship

This unit provides the opportunity for students to pursue a placement or internship (Work Integrated Learning experience) with an arts organisation, school, local gallery or other community organisation as negotiated with the group/organisation and the Unit Coordinator. This unit takes advantage of the regional location of our campuses and the connections students may have with local groups and organisations. To undertake this unit, students must initiate the proposal, speak with the group concerned, and the Unit Coordinator, before submitting a summary and detailed plan for the internship. Full details of the planning process, required documentation and permissions to undertake this unit are provided in the unit description. The unit aims to provide students with a Work Integrated Learning experience through which the student will become familiar with the commitment required, and the requisite responsibilities, of an arts worker in the community more broadly.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $997

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
