Well the people I know who did and are doing the internship all get paid.
Part of the EPP1 subject is going to a session where you listen to people that just did their intership. The ones I heard they also got paid.
Even though you do crappy subjects in the first year, you can still get a decent internship, it just depends on you and how hard you look
I was ment to be doing an internship now but because I haven't found a good place yet I rather study till I find a decent place
The internship is the only reason I'm at UTS
