Social Sciences Overview

 

Complete a Social Science Internship in Australia or New Zealand

Location: Any City in Australia or New Zealand

 

The unique cultures of Australia and New Zealand make either country an ideal location to gain practical experience in the social sciences. Participating in an international internship in this field will give the student a view of social issues of another country and how those issues are managed. Placements can deal with numerous social science areas like migrant resources, youth protection, youth at risk, family relationships, family planning, sexual health awareness, psychology, addiction, rural issues, women’s issues, and post-prison reintroduction. Interns can expect to focus on an assortment of internship duties in this field. Some of these include observing counseling sessions, managing temporary accommodation for youths, conducting research, developing programs, attending parliamentary meeting, attending conferences, and performing basic administrative tasks. Many of the placements in the field deal with children. Therefore, applicants should be prepared to complete background checks and are encouraged to apply early to complete this process.

 

Please see the current available placements in the navigation items on the left of this page. However, if none of those placements fit what you are looking for, just let us know and we will find one that does. During the application, you will write a cover letter that includes your goals and interests for your internship. Your AustraLearn Internship Coordinator will then work with you to match up your learning goals and interests with the best available internship placement.

Custom Date Internship

 

Design an Internship to Meet Your Specific Needs

Location: Any city in Australia or New Zealand

Custom Date Internship placements are available for students who are unable to participate in one of our PDAC placements for any one of the following reasons:

  • You do not meet the minimum GPA or college level requirements.
  • You cannot attend the program during the pre-set PDAC dates.
  • You need an internship of a duration other than 10 weeks.

AustraLearn Custom Date Internships are available in most every field of study. These one-of-a kind placements can accommodate a variety of start and end dates and program lengths of 6-26 weeks. In the required cover letter, applicants should detail the type of internship that they are seeking and their desired start and end dates. The success rate of these placements is very high, and students marvel at being able to intern with organizations that most closely mirror their desired experience.

In general, it is possible to start an AustraLearn Custom Date Internship at any time; however, applications must be completed at least four months prior to the desired internship start date. AustraLearn will try to match up these dates as closely as possible, but we suggest that the applicants have some flexibility.

Program fees vary with the actual finalized program length. Once you have submitted your completed application with all supporting documentation, including a specific cover letter, and have paid the initial deposit, our overseas staff members in Australia and New Zealand will find an internship placement to meet your needs. Your application MUST be received at least four months prior to your intended start date.

Most aspects of the custom date internship placements are the same as the PDAC placements. For instance, housing, on-site support services, and pre-departure services are similar across both types of programs. However, the custom designed internships do not include a Program Introduction because of the varying start dates for each placement. You will receive a welcome packet and an orientation phone call upon arrival in Australia or New Zealand. Additionally, custom designed internship placements do not carry credit from Chapman University; however, you can often arrange credit with your home university. You will want to speak with advisors at your home university about the processes and assessments they will require.

AustraLearn Coordinator


Name:Barbara West
Title:Manager, Internship Programs
Department:Internships in Australia and New Zealand
BIO:
Barbara manages the enrollment services and program facilitation of the Internship Program.

Barbara graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana with a BA in German and Geography. She studied for a year abroad in Giessen, Germany and has traveled through out the United States, Europe, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Advice From The Coordinator:
International internships look incredibly impressive on your resume, especially when they’re the type of quality placement that AustraLearn provides. Interns get practical experience in their chosen field and are not subject to the busy work that many employers request when they know they have free labor. The integrity of the program is never compromised and students gain a wealth of cultural and professional knowledge; knowledge that is very marketable when they begin their career. Internships are an excellent option for students looking to get both work and international experience at the same time and at an affordable price.
A word from our alumni
Basketball Australia has a very friendly environment. It’s easy to feel comfortable quickly as everyone is easy to talk to. Asking questions is encouraged and anyone who interns here is sure to learn a lot. The atmosphere is professional yet comfortable at the same time.
