You actually have to do them in the 2 6 month blocks. There might be special circumstances where you can do it as one year sometime, but it's not designed that way.Just to clarify, UTS takes an extra year because it is required you take 1 year Internship. It is also possible to break your Intern into 6 months blocks. Either way, great way to gain experience, job offer and some dam decent money during Uni.
