Experience a transformative 12-week internship in Sydney, Australia, one of the world's most livable cities with over 300 days of sunshine annually. This AIFS Abroad program guarantees you a full-time internship placement in your chosen career field while immersing you in Australia's vibrant business culture and iconic destinations. Sydney is home to Australia's financial and economic center, offering abundant opportunities across business, real estate, arts, banking, education, politics, law, and numerous other professional sectors.

Your internship experience is complemented by comprehensive support and enrichment activities. AIFS Abroad's award-winning Global Career Readiness Program connects your academic knowledge to professional ambitions through the CliftonStrengthsFinder® assessment, one-on-one career coaching, interview preparation, and on-site networking events. You'll work with the enrollment team to identify internship placements that align with your skills, talents, and career goals, and you'll interview with your manager before confirmation. Once in Sydney, location coordinators provide ongoing support and coaching to maximize your professional development.

The program includes housing in a shared apartment with amenities like a gym, movie room, and 24/7 staff support, plus internet access. Your inclusive program fee covers day trips and cultural activities that showcase both iconic attractions—such as the Sydney Harbour, Blue Mountains (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and the Royal National Park—and lesser-known experiences that give you authentic insight into Australian life. Spring semester participants enjoy a special Port Stephens excursion featuring dolphin cruises and sand surfing. You'll attend welcome dinners, guided city tours, winery visits in Hunter Valley, and Australian Football games, all designed to integrate you into the local community.

Academically, you can earn 3 credits through an International Internship course issued by Fairfield University, with additional courses available for an extra fee. This flexibility allows you to access financial aid and earn credit toward graduation, regardless of your home institution's internship policies. The program is open to high school graduates through graduate students across all academic interests, from accounting and fashion design to journalism and marine biology.

AIFS Abroad provides 24/7 emergency support, comprehensive health insurance, carbon offsetting for flights, and access to an alumni network to support your growth long after the program ends. Whether you're launching your career, gaining global connections, or exploring a new professional environment, this Sydney internship offers the perfect blend of professional development and unforgettable cultural adventure in one of Australia's most dynamic cities.
