Discover an internship experience in Sydney that combines professional development with adventure in one of the world's most vibrant and livable cities. This 12-week full-time internship program through AIFS Abroad places you in a guaranteed internship across 20+ career fields including business, finance, law, marketing, fashion, environmental science, and more. You'll work alongside talented professionals in Australia's financial and economic center while experiencing the city's iconic landmarks, beautiful beaches, and over 300 days of annual sunshine.

Your program includes comprehensive support from day one. AIFS Abroad's experienced enrollment team conducts personalized assessments of your skills, career goals, and professional expectations to match you with a dynamic employer in your field. Once matched, you'll interview with your manager before arrival, and upon landing in Sydney, on-site Location Coordinators provide ongoing support and coaching throughout your internship. This personalized approach has been refined over 20+ years of successful international internship placements.

Beyond your internship desk, you'll develop crucial career skills through AIFS Abroad's award-winning Global Career Readiness Program. You'll complete the CliftonStrengthsFinder assessment, engage in one-on-one career coaching, participate in interview preparation, attend career seminars, and access networking events that connect your academic knowledge to professional ambitions. The program is designed to help you not just complete an internship, but to identify and develop your unique strengths for long-term career success.

Your living experience centers on a comfortable student residence with twin shared rooms, study desks, shared kitchens, air conditioning, a gym, movie room, and 24/7 reception support. Internet is included in all housing. Throughout your semester, you'll participate in a rich cultural calendar of weekly activities and social events—from guided Sydney Harbour cruises to day trips to the UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley wineries (with kangaroo sightings!), Royal National Park bushwalks, and Australian Football games. You'll experience both the iconic tourist sites and lesser-known local gems that give you an authentic view of Australian life.

The program fee of $11,490 includes your internship placement, optional 3-credit academic course, housing, all day trips and cultural activities, on-site coordination, 24/7 emergency support, comprehensive insurance, and carbon offsetting for your flights. Additional academic credits are available for a fee through Fairfield University, allowing you to earn credits toward graduation. If your university requires internship credit or you want to maximize academic benefits, this option makes the program even more valuable. Rolling admissions mean you can expect acceptance confirmation within two working days of completing your application.
