Internships

UTS Law's creative, innovative and practical approach to learning whilst building strong industry links has led to the development of experiential local and international learning opportunities for our students.

We are committed to ensuring that graduates are equipped with future-focused capabilities and the skills needed to be engaged professionals with a global outlook. Internship subjects build on your studies, involving work of an appropriately demanding standard to model professional work or practice. This gives you the opportunity to build on your theoretical knowledge in an applied setting.

You can gain academic credit by enrolling into these specialist subjects which are offered at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level. Funding may be available to students undertaking international internships.

Please explore our local and international internship pages for more information regarding our programs. Any enquiries can be made to the Faculty of Law at LawInternships@uts.edu.au.

"I had such a great experience interning with the legal team at Toyota Finance. I have come out of the internship with more confidence and skills in drafting, contract review and generally working in-house.

It was an invaluable experience where I made great contacts, gained employability, and achieved personal goals. I would highly recommend future students to take this opportunity."

"My 10-week internship at Marrickville Legal Centre allowed me to connect with a network of experienced lawyers and PLT students while providing crucial legal assistance to marginalised persons in my local community.

I experienced vast improvements in my legal research, critical analysis and memorandum drafting skills through exposure to a variety of general civil matters. These skills will be pivotal for my future in law practice."

- Freya Hine

ZOE SPANOS ON LAWPATH: "My time interning at Lawpath was incredibly valuable. I was able to build upon my existing business skills as well as grow and develop my legal knowledge. I would highly recommend undertaking an internship as a part of your law degree. It allows you to apply what you learn in class more practically."
