Finding marine science internships abroad in Australia can be a breeze by working with a placement company that guarantees a tailored internship experience. You can also work with a local conservation organization protecting Oz’s flora and fauna. An alternative approach? Intern with one of the many universities conducting research across the country. With a little leg work, your days will soon be filled with fun (and hard work) in the sun enjoying this island continent’s endless coastline. 

In addition to cuddling koalas and enjoying world class surfing and scuba diving, don’t miss the opportunity to learn about Australia’s rich cultural diversity. Honoring the legacy of the island’s indigenous roots and British colonial settlements is essential to understanding its modern way of life. Ethical engagement with aboriginal communities, the world’s oldest living culture, is a must while interning abroad in Australia in marine science. 

It’s time to pack your bags and get ready to be a marine science intern abroad in Australia—don’t forget sunscreen!
