COMP8830 Computing Internship

S1S212 units8000-level

This course will enable computer science students to develop competencies expected of professionals working in business, government or the broader community. A list of available internship opportunities will be maintained for which students can apply. A holistic selection process will be used to select the best applicant for each opportunity. Students can also propose internships, but these will always be established following negotiations between the ANU and the potential host organisations, before being offered to students along with other opportunities.

Prerequisites in 2026

The handbook's wording is ambiguous; this is a person's reading of it

One of

  • All of

    • enrolment in the Master of Computing
    • COMP8260Professional Practice: Responsible Innovation and Leadership
    • COMP6442Software Construction
  • All of

    • enrolment in the Master of Machine Learning and Computer Vision
    • COMP6710Structured Programming
    • One of

      • COMP6250Professional Practice: Holistic Thinking and Communication
      • COMP8260Professional Practice: Responsible Innovation and Leadership

Why it's read this way: Each "Be enrolled in" opens a pathway. For the Master of Computing it names COMP8260, the professional-practice course before 2026; the 2027 wording adds COMP8280, its replacement, so this 2026 wording looks as if it had not caught up. It is applied literally to courses taken in 2026.

The handbook also asks for something this site can't check (a permission code, a GPA, group membership or "equivalent" study). Read the original below.

Incompatible with COMP8715, COMP8755, COMP8800: you can't count both.
