What are self-sourced international internships?

A self-sourced international internship is any internship where you are working for a company based outside of Australia. You can be working at a host company in your home country if you are currently overseas, or you can work remotely for an overseas company if you are based in Australia (or in a third country). Self-sourcing an internship gives you the chance to find opportunities with an employer of your choice for the ENGR90033 internship subject.

To make sure your chosen position is appropriate for the subject, all self-sourced internships are subject to an assessment and approval process by the Student Enrichment team.

Most commonly, applications are assessed for the following regions. For other destinations, contact engit-placements@unimelb.edu.au to enquire.

All applications for on-site work are dependent on the local COVID-19 situation. When planning overseas internships, please be mindful of ongoing COVID-19 related restrictions and requirements in various countries.
