What can interns help with?
Depending on the student’s discipline, skills and approved program of work, an intern may contribute to activities such as:
- Market and competitor research
- Customer and stakeholder analysis
- Business process reviews
- Digital marketing and social media initiatives
- Financial analysis and reporting
- Human resource projects
- Event planning and coordination
- Strategic planning projects
- Sustainability and ESG initiatives
- Data collection and business intelligence activities
All activities must form part of an agreed program of work that meets the relevant learning objectives.
Internship structure
Internship activities and learning objectives are agreed between the student and host organisation before commencement and reviewed by UTS to ensure educational value.
Students generally complete 100–180 hours of approved workplace experience. The hours and timeframe are agreed between the student and host organisation and must satisfy the requirements of the relevant internship subject.
Paid or unpaid internships
Organisations may offer internships on either a paid or unpaid basis, depending on the nature of the role and applicable workplace requirements.
Host organisations are encouraged to consider paid placements where possible. Payment arrangements should be agreed with the student and comply with applicable workplace requirements.
An internship can be lawfully unpaid if it is a course requirement and approved by the university. Host organisations should review the current Fair Work Ombudsman guidance on student placements and obtain independent advice where required.
