Program Overview

Spend six weeks interning in Melbourne, consistently ranked among the world’s most liveable cities. Known for its vibrant arts, sports, and food scenes, Melbourne offers the perfect balance of professional growth and cultural discovery—yes, even in wintertime.

IFSA matches you with placements that align with your goals across fields like arts, business, marketing, engineering, healthcare, design, and education. You might test tools at a finance firm, research competitors at an e-commerce company, or analyze data for a manufacturing start-up.

No matter your placement, you’ll build marketable skills while gaining global and intercultural work experience. With cooler temperatures and fewer tourists during the Australian winter, you’ll enjoy a quieter season perfect for exploring the city—and maybe even hitting the ski slopes just a few hours away.

This is an exclusive IFSA-designed program.
