UniSQ Project Partnerships

Staff and students working together to develop and deliver initiatives that improve the UniSQ student experience.

What is a Project Partnership? 

Project Partnership at UniSQ is a collaborative initiative where one to two staff members and two paid students work together to deliver a project. 

The essence of this partnership is genuine collaboration, with no predefined goals or outcomes. Instead, Project Partnerships are developed with both students and staff from the start. 


A Project Partnership at UniSQ typically spans ten weeks. During this time, students contribute a total of 30 hours, while staff collaborate with them for these 30 hours and may also dedicate additional time to ensure the project's success. 

There are two streams that a Project Partnership must fit within: 

  • Student experience: projects enhancing UniSQ students' academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular experiences.  

  • Learning and teaching: projects enhancing curriculum content, design, and delivery.   

Academic Integrity Project Partnership 

The Academic Integrity Project Partnership was initiated to foster collaboration with students in building a strong university integrity culture. The aim was to create targeted resources and generate innovative ideas, leveraging the unique perspectives and contributions of students. 

Deliverable: The students and staff of the project partnership produced 7 pdf flyers and 1 video, a chatbot prototype and a new webpage to house them: Academic Integrity Amplified | UniSQ 

Yes! Students are paid for working a total of 30 hours over ten weeks at a rate of Professional Level 3, Step One. This flexible arrangement allows students to contribute approximately three hours per week, though this can be adjusted to meet the project's needs. 
Project partnership opportunities will be posted on UConnect as they become available. Keep an eye out, or you may also propose your own project. 

Both Students and Staff can propose a Project Partnership. 

Staff: 

  1. Please assess your current workload and determine if you have the capacity to prepare for the Project Partnership and provide support to the Student Project Partners throughout this project. 

  1. Please provide an overview of the problem you are addressing or an initiative you'd like to bring to life. You can also schedule a meeting if you'd prefer to explore whether project partnerships are the right fit for you by emailing representation@unisq.edu.au. 

  1. Confirm which Project Partnership stream this project will fall within (student experience or learning and teaching) 

  1. Send us your job description to recruit students and a short (60 words or less) promotional spiel for advertising. 

  1. Provide any eligibility criteria, such as undergraduate status, gender, GPA of 4.0+, etc. 

  1. Please Note: The recruitment process involves: 

  • Two weeks for advertising 

  • One week to screen applications 

  • One week for your team to select participants 


Students: 

  1. Please send us an overview of a problem you are solving, or an initiative you would like to bring to life 

  1. Confirm which Project Partnership stream this project will fall within (student experience or learning and teaching) 

  1. Send us a short (60 words or less) promotional spiel for advertising and we will connect you with a staff member (unless you have already sourced a staff member who is eager to join – let us know!) 

 

Remember: For a genuine partnership, the project should not have any predefined goals, objectives, or outcomes. These should be developed collaboratively with the students from the start. While an initial idea of the project is necessary for recruitment, it should remain flexible.
