Why Intern Abroad?

With a global internship, you'll build valuable job skills, such as language proficiency, cultural training, adaptability, and communication. Whatever setting you find yourself in after graduation, you'll be grateful for the variety of hard and soft skills you gained while interning abroad.

Duration

The programmes range from 1-3 months and have rolling start dates so you can start anytime! The best time obviously does tend to be over the break between the end of B Trimester and A Trimester. Read through the programme pages for more specific date information.

Cost

There is a cost for these internships, however Waikato students receive a partnership discount and are considered for the Waikato OE Travel Award.

Credit

While our global internships are currently non-credit bearing, students are encouraged to speak to their Department directly if they want to arrange credit.
