Science internship subjects

All science and maths students are strongly encouraged to explore professional experience opportunities, and when possible take on an internship, while studying at UTS. 

A Science internship can be presented in many forms; research project on campus or at an external organisation, lab-based work in a local hospital, office work at a medical firm, work experience in a National Park, full-time internship in a bank. The applications of science are endless so think outside the box.

UTS Science and UTS Careers Service run regular pre-internship workshops, with the aim of providing students with the professional skills required to find and complete an internship.  Details can be found on UTS CareerHub or the UTS Science Events list. 

Students, who have been offered an internship and wish to receive academic credit for their work, can use their free electives to enrol into an existing UTS Science Internship subject: 

How to enrol in a Science Internship Subject:

To enrol in a UTS Science Internship subject, you must be a science student with sufficient free electives in your Study Plan and ensure you haven’t reached 24 credit point study load limit in the semester.
