Overview

Internships can be flexible and based on the needs of your company.

Paid internships at Macquarie Business School are between one to six months in duration. Students can work part time during sessions and full time over session breaks. We encourage companies to discuss availability with their preferred candidate.

We request that students be paid industry award rates or above; we recommend the federal minimum pay rates.

As part of the IPP, the Macquarie Student Employment team will help create a streamlined recruitment process for your organisation and provide a quality shortlist for the roles you need.

Allow six weeks for the candidate shortlisting process and consider university sessions and breaks.
