Internships

Find out about the latest science communication internship opportunities.

Science communication students at ANU have the opportunity to undertake an internship for course credit, as SCOM3004 for undergraduates, or SCOM6004 for postgraduates.

The aim of the course is to enable students to apply their science communication knowledge, skills and principles within a professional organisation. Students are placed in a government, education, industry or NGO organisation for approximately one day per week for a semester.

Students will experience a real-life science communication workplace and understand how their science communication and professional skills and knowledge can be used there. They will also be able to demonstrate functioning science communication knowledge, both new and existing, and identify areas of further development for their future careers.
