vocational internships (part of a degree program)

undergraduate students

macquarie's pace (professional and community engagement) program is dedicated to providing opportunities for students across all disciplines to engage with the community through a range of workplace activities. students gain academic credit through work experience in the industry/ workplace activities.

please contact pace directly if you are looking for an intern or are interested in engaging with the university by setting up an internship program with macquarie university.

postgraduate students

a number of masters degrees also offer internships to students as part of their study program, including:

faculty of arts

macquarie business school

faculty of science and engineering

timeframe

vocational internships generally run within one or more sessions each year:

  • session one: march - june
  • winter vacation: july
  • session two: august - november
  • session three: december - january
  • mgsm management internship runs 4 terms per year (january - march, april - june, july - september, september - november)

insurance

interns are only covered under macquarie's personal accident, and general and product liability insurance for the duration of their internship if they conduct their internship through pace, or, if their internship assists them in meeting their degree requirements. if you engage a macquarie university student outside of pace, macquarie university can now pay for the student's insurance in most cases outside of allied health and psychology-related placements. should you not be able to offer insurance, please tell the student to visit the career and employment service in the muse building on campus. we are happy to advise them on this matter.

all international students are also required to take out compulsory international students health cover, which provides private cover equivalent to the australian medicare benefit.

unpaid internships (not part of a degree program)

macquarie university is only able to advertise unpaid internships that abide by the fair work act. please be aware that according to the fair work ombudsman unpaid internships should only be with a voluntary, or not-for-profit organisation, or be of observatory nature within a business environment. if you require the student to perform productive activities within the business, the student is considered an employee and is entitled to be paid as such.

internships can be posted free of charge on our online job board careerhub.

volunteering

registered not-for-profit organisations can advertise voluntary opportunities free of charge on our online job board careerhub.
