Study areas

  • Business (public relations, marketing)

Note:
 These study areas are just a guide, and availability of relevant internships depends on many individual factors. Some study areas and majors are more difficult than others to source internships for. AIP can provide advice and guidance on alternative locations if required, but internships are not guaranteed. If your study area is not listed here, but you are interested in this destination, please let us know and we can confirm with the internship provider.


Postgraduate:

Internships for postgraduate students can be more difficult to source due to the niche and specific nature of courses and study areas.
