Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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 :)
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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!
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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.

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!
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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!

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.
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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.

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:)

Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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.
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
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

Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
It was amazing! It was a great experience, going abroad for my internship. I learned a lot while I was here, like how (Australian) businesses operate and also more professional English writing and speaking. Great experience and a beautiful internship with a lot of possibilities and heaps of learning all the way thru.
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
I absolutely love Melbourne! I found a place to stay in Elsternwick and I live there with 21 other students from all over the world, so that is great! So far the internship is really good. Australia wasn't my first choice. The plan was to do an internship in Brazil and when that didn’t come through I looked to other countries. I know a couple of people who did an internship in Australia and they loved it. So that's why I have chosen Australia. The service from Intern OZ was Very helpful, quick responses to my questions. They really looked into my personal wishes for an internship. I absolutely love Australia! It is so different than The Netherlands. I am really happy that I decided to do my internship in Australia. So far it has been a great experience and the time is flying by.
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
Just wanted to thank you again. I've been here 3 weeks now and I really enjoy it over here. The country, the company, the colleagues and the work. Everything is amazing! So much thanks for getting everything arranged for me.
Program: Internships in Australia | Intern OZ
My internship has been an extraordinary experience for me. I learnt a great deal of skills and knowledge which I hope will help me in the future. I met up with new friends. The staff was very enthusiastic and hard working. They made me feel part of them. It was a very beautiful experience.
