Who can participate?
All students at La Trobe University Sydney Campus can participate in our Professional Internship Program. As it’s important that students have some basic knowledge and skills to be able to put into practice during the internship, master students can apply in first or second year and bachelor students can only apply in either second, third or fourth year.
It has been shown that students who have done at least one year of study benefit significantly more than those who have just commenced their course.
