INTERNSHIPS

Gain valuable career experience through this credit-bearing internship opportunity. This course, worth 4 U.S. semester credits, is open to students who enroll in at least two classes from the Faculty of Arts, which offers humanities and social sciences subjects.

Following an introductory series of seminars, you will work 6-8 hours per week at your placement in the Auckland area, keeping a journal of your experience. You will complete an internship research project related to the organization’s strategic goals or core purpose.

The Arts faculty have placements in relevant areas; there is no guarantee of placements outside of Arts-related subject areas. Past interns have worked with the following organizations:

• Intelligent Ink
• Teach First NZ
• SpringboardTrust
• YWCA
• TEAR Fund
• Artists Alliance
• Transparency International
• The Creative Thinking Project

You must apply for the internship course in advance, no later than two weeks before the beginning of the semester. The application form is online and students must submit an academic reference in addition to working with an internship coordinator extensively before arrival.

After you return to the U.S., IFSA will send an official Butler University transcript to your home university with your coursework converted to the U.S. credit system. You will also have access to an unofficial transcript in your IFSA Student Portal. The transcript reflects courses taken, credits attempted, and grades earned during your term abroad. This service is included in your study abroad program at no additional cost.
