Internships
An internship is a supervised, hands-on learning experience in your major or sector of interest. Internships provide you with the opportunity to:
- Investigate a profession to see whether it is a suitable fit for your talents and interests
- create connections with professionals who can connect you to other firms, organisations, or experiences
- Demonstrate work-related knowledge and abilities to boost your marketability for future internships and full-time jobs
Internship Grants
Fusion Experiential Grants can be used to support outstanding student projects, internships, and other life-changing experiences. Deadlines, descriptions, and application forms are available on the university site.

- Completion of coursework relevant to the internship experience
- Have chosen an internship opportunity in their subject of study
