Program Reviews

I definitely learned new things and improved my skills from this experience. This internship has given me a very good learning experience overseas I am lucky enough to have a very good team. They're so helpful and wonderful people. They helped me to learn some new things and I am glad to have had them.

Great experience! Got a lot of time in the body composition lab learning about new techniques I was unfamiliar with, the staff were so friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my internship and time in Australia.

I had a great internship experience, it was easy to get placed with sending my interests and what my studies were. It was the perfect internship for me to learn and increase my skills and abilities. I gave a lot of good ideas to the company that will help them grow in years to come to keep growing this business.

I've been here for 7 weeks now and it's been great. The first days were hard as I didn't know anything about the city and didn't know anyone. The experience is unique and I can't wait to discover Australia now that I'm almost done with the internship!
About the internship, the company is great as the people. Everyone is generous and kind to me. They usually ask me to do some simple tasks as I'm just the intern but I learn a lot. I didn't learn new skills but I learnt a lot about myself. I know how it looks like to work in a big company.
My favourite overseas experience so far is my surfing lesson at the Manly surf school and it was the best experience so far because I loved it and I met great friends there, we still hang out every weekends together.

Overall the experience I gained while at the internship will be very beneficial for when I go back home. I really lucked out with the company I was with being so open and willing to help and show me new things. Going into it I wasn't expecting to get to do nearly as much as I did! I was really able to produce some good work for my portfolio even if not all of it was used within the company. I did however get to do a few projects for clients that will be produced and used which is really exciting.

As for the overseas experience it has, as a whole, been unforgettable. I have made some lasting friendships from all over the world and we are already planning on visiting in the coming years. I would not have changed anything about my time in the internship or adventuring around Victoria.

When I found out that I could intern in New Zealand for my placement year I couldn't wait to find an internship so I could jump on a plane and travel as well as develop professionally. Intern NZ found me a perfect internship that my university also approved of. I am currently thoroughly enjoying it! When I had questions about visas or accommodation they answered them all and I found them to be very helpful.

They have a Facebook group for interns in my city so I can talk to others. They have also organised several intern meet ups so I have got to meet other interns in my city. I also went on the Rotorua trip on Labour Day that was organised by Intern NZ which was soo much fun! It was nice to get out of Wellington and see New Zealand!

I would 100% recommend interning abroad! It is an amazing experience that opens your eyes to other cultures and ways of living. New Zealand is very culture rich meaning it isn't hard to find interesting things to do.

I feel that I have learnt more than I would have if I stayed back in the UK to do my placement year. I have met amazing people and I am looking forward to completing the rest of my placement year here. I might even extend my visa and stay longer - Once you are here you'll never want to leave!

I was fortunate enough to get a very good opportunity to work as an internee for one of the largest companies in the seafood industry. My role and responsibilities included reviewing and documenting the three main processes in accounting and finance section. I got an opportunity to travel in five cities within New Zealand. The internship was based on academic knowledge gained by me as well as my previous work experience. It was an excellent journey of experience. I wish all future interns all the best. My advice to them is to work hard and integrate your studies with the real world.

I did an internship in New Zealand in 2013 and since I love travelling I had to come back for this year's internship! Kiwis are very friendly and helpful and the country is quite small which means it's quite likely that people around you have beach houses or family in various cities. So don't hesitate to ask if you want to travel cheaply as they will probably be more than happy to help you out!

I did an internship in Wellington, and it was great. InterNNZ arranged an internship for me at one of the most influential online media business of NZ. You are offered a studio apartment to stay but are also free to search for your own place. They arrange meetups with current interns right away so you will instantly make new friends for the rest of your time. It was a great time and this experience will stay with me for a long time. If you are still hesitating.. stop it and do this.

InternNZ did a great job arranging my internships. I don't even have one, but I have two internships. They also arrange meetings so you can meet the other interns, you will make some good friends overthere! They supported me with everything and they replied on every single email I've send (and I've send a lot of emails). They were really patient and because of this experience I am even a better social worker than before.
