Register for Student Internship
Internships can take place in person or remotely. However, should the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic change, we may request organisations to transition interns to remote work, in line with relevant government guidance.
Thank you for your interest in engaging with our students.
The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology is committed to providing its students with the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience.
Students are required to undertake 320 minimum to 350 maximum hours over a 10-16 week period. Students may have flexibility to complete their internship over a shorter period with additional hours per week, particularly during the summer period. The government has recently made a change to the work rights attached to student visas. This change is currently temporary and is due to be reviewed in April.
As a result, international students can now work up to 40 hours per week; a change from the previous 20 hour per week restriction.
To enable us to advertise your opportunity we need to collect information about your placement.
There is no commitment to take on an intern until you have interviewed students for your position and selected a suitable candidate. However, upon selecting a candidate, we will ask you to agree to the terms of our program including the signing of our standard agreement and complying with occupational health and safety requirements.
For further information on our program, please see our Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology Internship webpage.
