Internships that bring fresh perspectives to your organisation
Transdisciplinary School’s internships connect organisations with transdisciplinary students who are trained to work across disciplines, navigate complexity and approach challenges from new angles. Whether you’re exploring a new idea, tackling a complex project, analysing and synthesising data sets, improving services or testing future opportunities, our students bring curiosity, creativity and practical problem-solving skills to your team.
By hosting a Transdisciplinary School intern, you’ll gain access to emerging talent while helping shape the next generation of future-ready professionals.

Workplace Inclusion
At the Transdisciplinary School (TDS), we are committed to fostering inclusive and equitable learning experiences. We recognise that inclusion is an ongoing journey, and we continue to learn, adapt and improve alongside our students, staff and partners.
Inclusive workplaces benefit everyone. They encourage diverse perspectives, strengthen innovation and create environments where people can perform at their best. Many workplace adjustments are examples of innovation in action, from flexible work arrangements and accessible technologies to alternative formats for communication and information.
During an internship, some students may require a workplace adjustment to support their participation and success. We encourage open conversations about accessibility and are happy to work with both students and host organisations to provide guidance where needed.
The UTS Accessibility Service is the central support service for students living with disability, neurodiversity, mental health conditions or ongoing health conditions. Students can register with the service and discuss their individual needs with an Accessibility Consultant. Where appropriate, recommended adjustments may be shared with TD School and discussed with the host organisation to help support a positive internship experience.
We understand that organisations vary in their experience and resources when it comes to workplace adjustments. Some have established accessibility teams and processes, while others take a more flexible, individual approach. Regardless of your starting point, our team is available to support conversations and help identify practical solutions.
We are also always interested in learning from our partners. If your organisation has implemented inclusive practices, workplace adjustments or innovative approaches to accessibility, we would love to hear about them.
