Description: The Sydney Internship Program offers a semester of study and work in beautiful, cosmopolitan Sydney, Australia, one of the hubs of the Pacific Rim. This program combines a professional internship with coursework on Australia's dynamic history, contemporary culture, and place in the modern world, including its literature, film, mass media, politics, economy, and art. Courses are taught at the Boston University Sydney Center by faculty drawn from leading Australian universities and industries. Upon successful completion of a semester, students earn 16 Boston University credits.

Highlights: The First Six Weeks (Core Phase)
Students take two core courses: Australian Culture and Society, and an Australian-focused elective course. Each student also meets with the program's internship advisors to refine an area of placement according to ability, professional goals, experience, and work style.

The Final Eight Weeks (Internship Phase)
Students participate in Sydney's local work life through internships with Australian and multinational businesses and organizations. Students work full-time, four days a week, while also enrolling in an elective course in one of the following subjects, all of which focus on Australia: politics, literature, mass media, or economics. During the final week of this eight-week period, students meet in an internship discussion seminar and spend time completing final projects and presenting them to their instructors and classmates.
