|---|---|
| 03 | Jointly supervised by a research end‑user |
| 07 | Research internship undertaken with a research end-user that was agreed within the relevant period |
| 08 | Research internship undertaken with a research end-user that was not agreed within the relevant period |
Research internship is defined as a position with a research end-user where a student has undertaken research and development (R&D) related to their higher degree by research (HDR). A research internship can be either paid or unpaid, can form part of an enrolment or be undertaken during a HDR period of suspension.
A research internship that was agreed to within the relevant period is to be reported against value 07.
For the purposes of the RTP PhD industry internship weighting, a research internship will have been ‘agreed within the relevant period’ when the internship was agreed to by a higher education provider, HDR student and research end-user, in written form:
- within 18 months from the commencement date of the student’s HDR if the student is undertaking a full-time student load
- within 36 months from the commencement date of the student’s HDR if the student is undertaking a part-time student load.
The agreement must detail the R&D activities to be undertaken and the duration of the internship.
For the RTP PhD industry internship weighting to apply, all eligibility criteria must be met prior to the course completion date, however, it is not a requirement of a research internship for the internship to end by this date.
Information on eligibility for the RTP PhD industry internship weighting can be found at paragraph 1.4.13 of the Commonwealth Scholarships Guidelines (Research) 2017, as well as the Frequently asked questions for the RTP industry internship weighting.
A research internship that was not agreed to within the relevant period is to be reported against value 08.
Values 03, 07 and 08 can be reported concurrently, however two instances of the same value cannot overlap (see Reporting effective dates guide for further information).

Codes 02,04,05, and 06 retired, added codes 07 and 08. Coding notes changed to; “Research internship is defined as a position with a research end-user where a student has undertaken research and development (R&D) related to their higher degree by research (HDR). A research internship can be either paid or unpaid, and can form part of an enrolment or be undertaken during a HDR period of suspension. A research internship will have been ‘agreed within the relevant period’ when the internship was agreed to by a higher education provider, HDR student and research end-user, in written form: within 18 months from the commencement date of the student’s HDR if the student is undertaking a full-time student load within 36 months from the commencement date of the student’s HDR if the student is undertaking a part-time student load. The agreement must detail the R&D activities to be undertaken and the duration of the internship. To calculate the relevant period of the written agreement for HDR students who change their type of attendance during their course, the HDR student’s full-time or part-time status as at the first day of their course commencement is to be used. Any research internships that were agreed within the relevant period described above should be reported against value 07, irrespective of the length of the internship. Research internships that were not agreed to within the relevant period are to be reported against value 08.” |
