Additional course-related information

• Optional internship: You may take AMG5751 Communications industry internship (Part E) during the Summer B semester (January, before the 3rd semester). This reduces your final semester load to one Part C and one Part E unit. 

• Optional thesis: Students with 48 points and a distinction average may be invited (via email) to take AMG5743 Communication Research Thesis (24 points) in the final semester, replacing AMG5742 and two other units. 

• Optional Exchange option: You may join the Monash Global Intercampus Program (GIP) in Semester 3 (final semester, full-time mode only). Please submit your express interest via Ask.Mira near the end of Semester 1. 

• Note: Implication of enrolling in AMG5009 (Final semester) or APG5485 (Global Intercampus Exchange Program, MUA) in the final semester: The student may lack research experience, which could be a disadvantage when applying for future PhD programs, depending on the type of program and institution.
