Targeted Students

Citizenship Requirement

International students:
As this internship is not a registered, mandatory part of our students' course, international students on student visas are limited to 20 hours work per week, regardless of whether the internship is paid or unpaid. Therefore these students will complete their internship over 16 weeks, working 20 hours per week. Domestic students may have flexibility to complete their internship over a shorter period with additional hours per week, particularly during the summer period.

If you would like to employ an international student beyond the internship period please note many international students from the University of Melbourne stay in Australia to pursue employment after graduating. Recent changes to visa guidelines mean that many international graduates are now able to work in Australia for periods between 18 months and four year upon completing their course. Individual circumstance may vary.

You are encouraged to make your own enquiries in relation to working rights for international employees. For further information, please see here.
