Architecture Internships

Australia

Architecture internships in Australia involve work on the planning, design, and construction of buildings and other physical structures. They are an excellent way for budding architects and urban planners to gain practical insight into a dynamic industry and develop their skills in a real-world environment.

Typical internships may focus on the following areas: residential, commercial, landscape, interior design, projects and planning, and green design.

Placements are primarily made in Sydney and Melbourne but are possible in other cities when requested, or when opportunities do not exist in Sydney or Melbourne. Placements range from 4 – 40 weeks. If you require a shorter or a longer internship please make a special request in your application form. Internships may be either part time (starting at 16 hours per week) or full time (up to 40 hours per week).

Remote Architecture internships are also available. We can negotiate a set number of hours per week in advance that satisfies your University requirements. Most internship placements are Monday to Friday however some hosts may requires some assistance on evenings and weekends.
