Internships
There’s no better way to prepare for the world of work than getting some professional experience under your belt. That’s why we’ve integrated two six-month internships into the Bachelor of Accounting program. These internships are full-time professional work placements where you can really immerse yourself in a real business environment with one of our sponsor organisations.
Find your place in the (business) world
The first step is finding somewhere for you to intern. There’s a bit of an art to allocating internship placements – you can nominate which sector you’d like to work in, and we’ll try to accommodate your request based on your interest and performance, as well as on the corporate environments and workplaces that are on offer at the time. Essentially, we’re aiming to get the best student-to-workplace fit that we can.
First-year internship
As a first-year student, you may not have a lot of learning behind you, but you’ll have a lot to gain from your first exposure to the world of big business. The exact nature of your work experience will be determined by the organisation you work for – you could find yourself working across insurance, banking, manufacturing, communications, government or retail.
Third-year internship
Your second internship is where you can really get your head – and your hands – in the game. Our sponsor organisations often have a tailored job or project in mind for BAcc students, so you can expect to be working on accounting projects that’ll challenge you and keep building your skills. This internship is a chance to make a real contribution to your organisation – and to make an impression on the people that matter.
