Careers & opportunities
Information on internship programs and other learning experiences for our undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students, and research students.
Internships
An internship is an opportunity for you to work in an organisation on an agreed project for approximately 1–2 days a week for a semester. There may also be opportunities for intensive internships during semester breaks, where you would work 4 or 5 days per week over 3 or 4 weeks.
Internship projects are available at different levels, to undergraduates (SCNC 2000 and SCNC 3000) and postgraduates (SCNC 8000). Current HDR students can email science.internships@anu.edu.au to enquire whether projects can be incorporated into their PhD program. To be eligible for an internship, you must have at least a Distinction average across all subjects.
Get hands on work experience and network with future employers while earning credit towards your degree.
The Science internship program enables you to work with our most talented students on a project relevant to your business.
