Global Academic Ventures manages internship programs in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, and Ireland. Students are able to select where to undertake their summer internship experience, however the ultimate placement within a local company depends on the student’s skills, previous experience, studies and the company’s preference.
 
Students are expected to intern for a minimum period of 8 weeks, full time, for a company’s normal business hours.
