Description

An opportunity to apply the skills you are acquiring through your academic study to a project designed by a local company or community group in a New Zealand context.

A range of internships in a variety of industries give students the opportunity to apply the theories they have learnt and gain a competitive edge upon graduation.

The programme consists of three components — an internship with a business or community organisation, a related academic research element, personal development and skills training

Students have worked on projects as diverse as analysing social media, website content development, event organisation, policy analysis, media strategy development, business systems analysis, marketing and fundraising, and oral history research.
