Marine Science Internships in Gold Coast

Intern OZ found me an internship so quickly and you were very willing to help. I hired an other company which couldn't find anything in months while they did it in just 1 day! The e-mail contact was very informative and pleasant. It feels good that the service does not stop after you find me an internship! Furthermore The intern of the week program on social media is an amazing I really liked that!

From this internship, I learned a lot about computing and programming languages. Programming languages are a major skill set that I learned and as this was a bioinformatics internship I got experience in a different field which I think was useful. I really liked working on my own project, exploring new software and learning new programming languages.

I'm learning a lot during my internship. My internship supervisor really wants to challenge me and to educate me and I can learn a lot from him. I met new people which is also nice. I don't have suggestions for improving the service. According to me the service is just fine :)

The whole experience has been incredible! I've progressed in the Zoo quite quickly and am trusted with a lot more and have even been allowed to look after the cheetahs! For what is being done by Intern OZ nothing needs to be improved really!

My favorite part of Australia are the people, they are very nice and it is easy to get in contact with them. The kind of work I am doing here is not to find in Germany so it was very new for me. The service by Intern OZ does not need to be improved.

I believe that a way to find yourself is traveling and experience different cultures, it opens your eyes and you watch your life having a turn and making sense in every task you do. I put my heart and effort in this things so I become a better person every day by learning and spreading a little bit of my knowledge. If you are doubting to get abroad just follow your instinct and you will see how everything falls into place.

It has been an overall amazing experience being at my placement. Being a recent uni grad it was amazing being able to have this opportunity to be able to put my knowledge into work and get a feel for what I hope to be doing in the future. Being here has given me the time and resources necessary to be able to complete my applications to graduate school and build up my resume. Overall I just want to say thank you so much for helping me in making the best decision I have ever made for my future!

I've traveled a lot, this is my first time living abroad. I think I would have had a much lonelier, more expensive adjustment period if it weren't for the internship and the friends I made at the organization. I'm really grateful for my new friends who have taken me in their group and shown me around. The internship work is really compelling too! My supervisor really respects me as an employee, and often seeks out of my advice on different research methods. He really respects my autonomy as a researcher, and I really appreciate that. Thanks InternNZ and InternOZ for all your help getting the ball rolling on my big Australian adventure!

Interning abroad in Wellington NZ was the best decision I've ever made! I fell in love with the city and my job and really didn't want to go home! This experience was so eye opening and I can't wait to go back to Wellington!

I always knew that I wanted to travel to Barcelona, so I was excited when I made the decision to do an internship through CISabroad. My experience ended up being the absolute best that it could have been. I am an international business major worked for a company that worked with solar energy technology, and it was a great experience because the company I worked for had partnerships with companies in many different countries. I was able to learn a lot about an industry I had not considered before which was really enjoyable. I enjoyed my internship experience very much. The CIS onsite staff provided support for all of the students in case we ever needed help with something or had an emergency. They were also really great about letting us know about different events going on in the city - we received a weekly cultural agenda with different activities to do every weekend in the city. There were also multiple day trips outside of Barcelona included in the program, as well as a week of intensive Spanish classes. Overall, my experience in Barcelona was absolutely incredible, and I hope that I can go back again someday. I would recommend this program to anyone!

I have had a really great experience overseas so far. I have loved exploring Australia and learning about all the various cultural offerings present in this country. Sydney is a great mix of familiar and foreign, seeing as it is similar to the US in many ways while also maintaining distinct differences. Through my internship I have met many people of various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds which has enriched my experience and given me the chance to look at issues and institutions through perspectives other than my own.

I have enjoyed my internship, learning what it is like on site has been eye opening. Seeing a renovation through from start to finish was so helpful because its one thing to sit in a classroom and edit floorpans, space plan, and specify materials and finishes but doing it and then seeing it all unfold in real life is another thing entirely. I've learned a lot from watching my boss and coworkers interact with the tradesmen, manage the clients, and schedule/oversee everything else regarding a project. I've also learned that I'm not a big fan of working 9-5 but what I'm gaining from it is so valuable in terms of my future career that its manageable. I think the biggest downside to that schedule is only really having the weekends or a few hours each night to explore Melbourne. However, so far I've gotten to see much of the city and its surrounding suburbs. St. Kilda is beautiful, the Great Ocean Road was worth traveling a hundred times over, and I think I've seen every inch of the CBD lol. I'm hoping to go to Sydney before I leave Melbourne to head home because I think that will end up being the highlight of my entire experience.

I lived in Beijing, China for three months. I spoke some Mandarin before I went, but when I got there I felt like I knew nothing. When I arrived someone was waiting to pick me up at the airport and take me to my apartment. There were some problems with the apartment, but ImmerQi and CISabroad worked to quickly fix the problems that I contacted them with. (They are partner companies and ImmerQi will work with you in China.) Some of the problems were with fixtures in the apartment and bugs, but all problems were promptly taken care of. I was, also, really scared using the subways in China to find my job. I was afraid I would get lost or not be safe, but I found a few other interns to show me the way and after about three or four days could navigate myself all around China. Work was a little far from my apartment, but it was doable. I did, however, live very close to my language school. When I came home from China I could understand my boyfriend and friends conversations much better and can hold my own in a conversation, too! Perks: The internship was designed around my interests. Problems were promptly taken care of. It was very independent and I could travel or do whatever I wanted in my free time. There are SO many things to do and places to see in China. I was never bored. The medical insurance was great. The people are very nice, the city is super safe, and the food is FANTASTIC (taste, amount, and price!) If you try to talk to someone in China, more often than not they are going to be ecstatic that you tried and will try their best to communicate with you. Many of the places I went were beautiful. I traveled to some of the most famous and gorgeous places in Beijing- Great Wall, Summer Palace, Tienanmen Square, the Forbidden City, and so many more! Disadvantages: If you cannot speak Chinese you will have a hard time getting around and doing things you want to do. If I could not speak the language I would not have been able to go to the places I wanted. There were a lot of problems that needed to be fixed; in order to get them fixed, you have to be very pushy and persistent. If you aren't careful people will try to take more money than a product or service is worth. (Scammers) Taxis tend to not stop for foreigners; if they do stop they might try to charge you too much for your trip! Be prepared to use the subway for most travels. The internship is very independent. While I loved this about the internship, other people may not. You need to be very self-sustaining and confident. You will not have people helping you with everything or with you all of the time. A lot of the time you will be on your own (you may or may not have a roommate while you are there). The best way to have fun in China is to make friends with the locals. I made so many friends and this helped my language skills soar! Going out and really seeing the city and fully immersing yourself in the culture is the only way to get the most out of your experience. Beijing became my second home. Everyone is asking me when I will be back, inviting me to events and their homes, and so on. If you immerse yourself you will be happy with your experiences anywhere you go.

It's amazing to be abroad, especially when it is freezing over in Europe. I'm having a great time here in Newcastle, Australia! I have met a lot of amazing people, everybody is super friendly, the weather is great, BBQ food:)

I have nothing but high remarks for CISabroad. From the very beginning of choosing a program, they were very welcoming and extremely helpful. They were able to answer all of my questions I had. This was one of the main reasons why I chose to go with CISabroad. They were eager to help and very affordable compared to other programs. Although the process to get all of the necessary documents was very stressful, CISabroad was very responsive and helped in any way they could. The pre-departure activities were very helpful to prepare me for a semester in London. Arriving in London I was very nervous, to be so far away from home. But the CISabroad on-site staff were very warm and welcoming. My homesickness went away very quickly thanks to them. The housing situation was great for interns. We were given a flat, we lived just like anyone else would have lived in London. I felt very independent having to buy groceries and cook for myself. All of these correspond perfectly with being an intern. It was like being in the real world with a job and everything. There was a grocery store right down the street from our flat which was very accommodating. There were also several restaurants as well. I think it was a perfect location in a nice residential area. We lived about 15 minutes from Big Ben, so the location was perfect, right in Central London. My internship placement was really good as well. I had a marketing internship for a health and wellness company. The commute to and from the office was easy. There was a tube station located right next to our flat which was a bonus. With CISabroad there were also social programs that allowed us to meet other students in London as well as do new things in London. One for example was attending the evensong at Westminster Abbey. There was also a social program trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. I was very grateful for this opportunity to see other parts of the United Kingdom. All in all, choosing CISabroad was one of the best decisions I could've done for myself. It allowed me to achieve my dream of seeing the world. It gave me friends that I will have for the rest of my life. And it allowed me to experience things I would not have been able to otherwise. If you are reading this and you are deciding whether or not you should go abroad with CISabroad. I say go for it, you will not regret it.

Rather than write paragraphs about the experience, I am just going to divide the experience into two lists: Things I liked: *An internship is much less stressful than a 'study abroad' internship because you don't bring work home with you. This means that you are free to do whatever outside of work hours, and on weekends. *There were many planned cultural and social events planned by CISAbroad, but they were purely optional, meaning you could take advantage of them or do something else if you'd prefer. Of the ones I took part in, the weekend trips and the cooking class were the most fun. *It varied by person, but the housing that I was placed in was probably in the best location we could have been in. It was in the middle of a tourist-y area so most of the restaurants and such spoke English. *Staff members were always available if there was every an issue of any kind. *My school (UT Austin) had several dozen students in the program, and all the guys were placed in the same apartment complex, so there was never a time where I felt I did not have someone to do things with. (this didn't seem to be true for the girls, and most other schools didn't have enough students in the same program for this to matter) Things I didn't like: *The weekend trips that required extra payment. While they were fun - I felt as though the prices they charged were somewhat high compared to going to those places on your own, especially considering the price of the program itself. *I felt like the program was not very specific on what I should bring with me. I was unsure on whether I would need to bring towels or bedding with me. *This is an issue specific to the country, but I had trouble adjusting to a lack of A/C

I really enjoyed getting to experience a different culture and living environment while also getting work experience. I was still able to learn something new every week. Theresa, Kailee, and Bob were all very helpful throughout the application process! This made traveling to Australia and beginning my internship a breeze.

My experience has been incredible I've learned a lot about myself and being able to cope on my own. I learned that I love the field I chose for myself and have become very excited for my future. I discovered how to make friends without the crutch of my own social group and found that people are generally friendly and accepting. My favorite part has been the experience with the animals I've had at zoo. Overall good service and helpful information
