- personalised coaching sessions with our professional career coaches
- career development and skills-based workshops, including our Career Navigation Series and Linked In workshops

The Management Internship (MMBA8155) is an elective unit in the MBA course that offers eligible students the opportunity to work on a current business project over a period of ten weeks at the host organisation’s office.
The internship allows students to provide management consulting services to an organisation, applying theory to practice and learning about a new business or industry first-hand. During the internship, an academic who specialises in the subject matter actively supervises students.
Internships are diverse in nature, and our students have worked on the following types of projects:
- business innovation and disruptive technologies
- change management and organisational strategy
- corporate social responsibility and sustainability
- financial modelling
- marketing/business strategy and planning
- process and performance improvement
- supply chain and operation management.
If your organisation is interested in hosting an MBA intern (unpaid) to solve some business issues from a fresh and creative perspective, contact MGSM careers execareers@mgsm.edu.au for more information.
