Internships/Work Experience |
Since 1995, staff have supervised a number of work experience students from both Queensland and overseas. These work experience students are typically 6-8 weeks in duration, and are covered by the university to which the students are attached. The QAS will fund any project costs, while the interns are responsible for travel and living expenses.
