Start your search
Search for internships and work placements with employers and university career services. Check the role description for the expected study year and duration.
Before you say yes
Do not assume an internship can be unpaid. Ask how the role is classified, check employment rights and confirm your immigration permission before committing.
This is an orientation guide, not an individual eligibility decision. Your citizenship, study status, internship type and duration determine which rules apply. Follow the official source and obtain confirmation for your situation.
Your five practical checks
- Ask your institution whether the placement meets your learning and recognition requirements.
- Request written duties, dates, hours, supervision and pay or allowance.
- Confirm the right to intern, any local registration and relevant permits.
- Check healthcare, accident and liability insurance cover.
- Verify housing, deposit terms and your budget before booking travel.
Find real opportunities
Use employer career pages, your institution’s network and specialist internship platforms. Check each listing’s date, employer identity, working language and educational requirements.
