A Guide to Business Internships Abroad in Australia

Why Become a Business Intern in Australia?

The economic powerhouses of Sydney and Melbourne are where most expats choose for business intern abroad in Australia. These cities offer a mix of homegrown businesses, primarily in the extraction and finance industries, as well as branch offices located in gleaming towers for corporations known by their initials—such as IBM, SAP, PwC, and EY. But even when working for multinational corporations, the laid back Aussie vibes are apparent in the work culture. 

Aussies know how to balance work and life, making for plenty of time to explore. Between the weekends, which often start at the bar on Friday afternoons, and the four weeks of annual holiday, opportunities abound to explore the cities or hop aboard a low-cost flight to the rainforests near Cairns or beaches of the Gold Coast.

The Summer of a Lifetime in Amsterdam!!

November 22, 2025by: haley lorch - United StatesProgram: Sage Corps: International Internships at Startups

I got the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Amsterdam in the summer of 2025, and it was truly a life-changing experience. Sage Corps is such a unique program because it allows you to study abroad while also getting real-world experience by working with businesses in your host country. I was able to fully immerse myself in Amsterdam’s culture, explore the city during my free time, and simultaneously grow my business skills through my internship at a startup. I can’t recommend this program enough for anyone who wants to truly live in another city and experience it on a deeper level. Working and commuting in Amsterdam every day gave me a completely new perspective on the city, and I absolutely loved it. Beyond the professional and personal growth, I also made so many amazing friends—many of whom I still talk to regularly! If you’re even slightly considering this program… DO IT!! You’ll have the summer of your dreams, make unforgettable memories, and leave with a piece of the city in your heart forever.
