Get hands-on data experience in an Australian workplace

The Data Science and Analytics Internship Program is designed for students and graduates in Australia who want to strengthen their technical knowledge and get real work experience through a structured 12-week internship placement. It's open to international and local students based in Australia who want to build confidence, develop skills and get practical experience before starting their career.

Why choose this internship program?

Apply your university learning to real projects

Depending on your host company, you could be working on tasks such as data analysis, visualisation, or modelling using tools such as Power BI, Python, R, SQL, or Excel to support decision-making, reporting, and process improvements.

Learn how data drives industries

The placement will give you exposure to the many ways data is applied across businesses. Your learning experiences could include workforce development, finance, risk analysis, customer insights, or process optimisation, depending on your host company.

Develop professional skills

In addition to developing your technical skills, you'll build skills in problem-solving, collaboration and workplace communication. The whole experience will help strengthen your CV and give you confidence for future interviews.

Who can apply for the program?

University students in Australia

If your Australian degree includes an internship requirement, this program can help you meet it while gaining industry experience.

And the program is open to both international and domestic students studying in Australian universities and colleges.

Recent graduates and students without a placement requirement

If your course doesn't include an internship requirement, or you've newly graduated, you can still join the program by combining your work experience placement with an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program.
