What is an Internship?
The Biennale of Sydney welcomes students who need to complete formal internships and industry placements as part of their university or college study. Placements can be tailored to meet the needs of your course and we can offer written assessment where requested. Internships are similar to working as a volunteer but generally involve more in-depth work on specific projects for a longer period of time. We can tailor the length or your internship to suit your requirements. Placements can be both long or short term. For longer internships it is worth contacting the Biennale of Sydney in person to discuss your options.
