Work experience and internships

Work in an organisation as part of your studies and get credit towards your course. You could be working with a member of state parliament, building a school in a developing nation, working behind the scenes at a television station, or as a researcher with a non-profit organisation. The opportunities are endless.

"If there’s one thing to look out for, it’s a place with good internships, and genuinely Monash was great at supplying those. I did five internships all up and two of those internships led to a job.”
