Internships are a great way to gain professional experience while studying at university, to network with and to learn from experts in your field, and to make decisions about your future career path.

All science students are strongly encouraged to explore professional experience opportunities, and when possible, take on an internship, while studying at UTS. 

A Science internship can be presented in many forms; research project on campus or at an external organisation, lab-based work in a local hospital, office work at a medical firm, work experience in a National Park, full-time internship in a bank. The applications of science are endless so think outside the box.

Science Undergraduate Students, who have been offered an internship and wish to receive academic credit for their work, can use their free electives to enrol into an existing UTS Science Internship subject:
