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) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $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.
