Part-Time Internships

The University of Adelaide offers a part-time internship program which allows students to gain hands on experience. This program equips students with a range of practical skills, built on the knowledge they have gained during their study. Students are drawn from a range of discipline backgrounds and will be matched with suitable projects dependent on their interests, major study area and experience. 

Program and Assesment

During the course of their internship, students are expected to complete a short academic orientation and some seminars. Students then work on a research task under the joint supervision of an organisational host supervisor and an academic supervisor. By the end of the academic year, students write a report (of about 7 000 words) giving an account of the research project undertaken during the internship.

Placement

Students who wish to participate in the internship program should fill out the study abroad application and designate their desire to do so under the program title and in their study statement. They should also sumbit a resume and a cover letter in which they describe the kind of internship placement they would like to have.

The application can be found here.
