Internships — The Placement Process

Study Australia offers a unique opportunity for the student to emerge culturally and professionally in Australian culture. Students who complete the internship abroad program set themselves apart from others because they come back with unique experiences specific to Australian business culture.

Internships in Australia are not as common as they are in the United States, however, Study Australia can match you with an organization that is perfect for your professional goals. Study Australia works dilegently with their internship placement consultants based in Australia who work with organizations directly to secure customized placements that suit the applicant's career and academic objectives.

"I would definetely recommend the program. The apartments were very nice and in a good location. The staff at my internship were very friendly, helpful and full of knowledge. Overall I had a great internship experience in Australia." - Danielle, Germany, Summer 2008 Participant

The Application

After you have applied to the Internship program of your choice, the Study Australia Internship Coordinator will begin guiding you through the application process. For additional details, please review the Application Information Page.

Placement Timing
Because of necessary lead-time, we require applications to be submitted at least 4 - 5 months prior to the program start date. The actual lead-time to source internships can vary from 1 - 3 months or more, depending on a variety of factors for each applicant.

Placement Details
Receiving an internship offer in Australia is an exciting time for the student. Once your internship placement is finalized, Study Australia will send you a Confirmation Letter and Training Agreement (via email), which will provide you with details regarding your placement (e.g. company name, address and contact details), as well as information on working in Australia, business protocol and information on applying for your required internship visa.
