Targeted Students

There are no restrictions for international students to undertake unpaid or stipend paid internships for course credit.

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.
