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.” | To support legislation. | 20 Dec 2022 | 20 Dec 2022 |
