Internships and career-ready placements
Global Internships and placement opportunities are a great way to gain professional experience and increase your employability in both the domestic and global job market.
The University of Newcastle works with a range of organisations who can assist you to plan your internship or placement. These organisations are screened by the University of Newcastle and an approved list can be found on the Global Experience Portal.
Please check with your School if the internship component of you degree can be completed overseas using one of our approved internship providers. Otherwise, you can use an elective component of your degree to complete the internship through one of our approved providers, and receive credit through HUMA2001 or SCIE3600.
Hear from our students
"The more interesting an internship, the more differentiated you become against the competition and more varied things you can bring to the table for a prospective employer. I was able to bank on my experiences during my internships to secure a full time position with Macquarie Group by harnessing my work and life experiences in Beijing during those two winter months."
Hear from Thomas about his experience doing an internship in Beijing.
