Academic & Professional Staff
Our Internships team is ready and waiting to help you arrange and support successful internships for your students.
But keep in mind they don’t always have to involve an external host. We can also help you take on one or more interns in your own department—bringing all the same benefits enjoyed by industry.
Student interns get to experience a work environment they may not have previously considered, or be exposed to other opportunities.

Guidelines
To host a University of Adelaide intern, your department will need the capacity to maintain the internship for a minimum of 20 days, and provide the student with a/an:
- appropriate workload of relevant and meaningful tasks for the full period
- professional working environment that allows them to develop their knowledge
- appropriate work facilities, including access to a desk, computer, etc.
- suitable supervisor
- students are covered by University insurance in most cases, however we do require our hosts to also have public liability insurance of at least $10M.
