All MSU-sponsored international academic internships offer credit and usually provide no salary. Academic arrangements must be made through your MSU college. Your internship coordinator can assist you with the specifics of developing an international academic internship. Please read the following descriptions carefully since not all students are eligible for all internships. Placement options are available in Australian national and state parliaments, government agencies, print and electronic mass media, and public relations agencies and criminal justice.
Limited placements are available in banking and finance, marine biology, and wildlife.
Placements are in Canberra or Sydney for 9 to 19 weeks. All placements are during spring semester. Depending on your interest, and the company's flexibility and need, these internships can last from a summer to a semester. USFQ has an active internship placement office that will work with students upon arrival. They will review applications and interview applicants, locate several possible placements, identify an internship sponsor, and evaluate students' progress.
