Internships

Overview

The Global Student tailors the internship program to align with your academic requirements by using our local logistical knowledge to meet your budget, combining academic interest with cultural immersion (and some fun!). Internships range in duration anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on the company of choice.

Meetings are arranged with a range of industry groups, companies, government groups, and local university faculties. Where possible, we put together meet-up sessions for the students with their local Alumni which helps universities maintain connections, and at the same time allows the students to mingle with their peers.
