Sydney and Melbourne are fantastic locations for students, recent graduates, and pre-professionals to explore their fields and add an international perspective to their resumes. The high creative energy in Sydney and Melbourne makes them the perfect places for internships in advertising, architecture, graphic design, interior design, and journalism, while their popularity as cities make them ideal for those involved with event management, hospitality, travel, and tourism. Sydney, Australia’s oldest and largest city, boasts the world-famous Sydney Opera House, stunning harbors, and beautiful beaches. Melbourne is the country’s art center where you can check out the cultural hub of Federation Square, attend one of the many music and film festivals, or spend a day at one of Port Phillip’s many beaches.
