AIFS Abroad Internships in Sydney, Australia

Sydney is probably one of the best places to visit abroad. There was so much to do all the time and the people are friendly. There are a lot of different company/business options here in the Central Business District and everything is accessible by walking or using public transportation. My company was very nice and taught me a lot. I was given a lot of unique opportunities and have grown heaps sense my arrival.

Our on the ground supervisor was amazing and alerted us of fun events and local activities. There was never a dull moment and I have met so many great people and new friends.

There was so many different food options as well. Attempt to try everything. There are hidden restaurants and pubs everywhere and the city lights up at night.

This was a fantastic program. I had two different internships and learned heaps in both. For the most part, coworkers were accommodating and friendly. The friends I have made here have been amazing and I plan on keeping in touch with them for a long time to come.

Sydney is a beautiful city with so much to do and see. Even in the winter the weather was nice for the great majority of our stay.

Food was great too.

There was so much to see in do that you can’t be standing idly by on this trip. You are constantly wanting to do more and more. There is a lot of good culture in Sydney.

I am about to board my flight to leave right now and all I can say is wow. WOW

Don’t blink or you will miss it. Soak in every moment you have here. I have learned so much and had so much fun in the process. A win-win!!

WOW.

Go to Sydney. It’s a experience you won’t wanna miss.

This was such an amazing experience! I loved every second of being in Sydney. Since we were a smallish group I became such good friends with everyone in our group. My group mates and I would travel on weekends to different places such as the Great Barrier Reef and Gold Coast. We even went sky diving! We made it to New Zealand which was beautiful and I would recommend going there. Make the most of your time there because before you know it it will be over. My coworkers were super nice and friendly. We would go out after work and hit up a pub for a couple drinks on Fridays. It was a small company so it was nice that I got to work with different people and see what they do. I learned a lot and made good connections. I would definitely recommend this program.

Sydney is an amazing place to go abroad and to do an internship! There is so much to see in Sydney and in Australia that you will never be bored! I am happy that I chose Sydney and I really feel like I was able to get so much out of my internship and see so much that Australia has to offer. I'm so happy that I was able to have this experience and I really feel like I gained so much from my time here. The program director here is amazing and is ready to help you whenever you need it. The activities that were planned for us were great and I recommend going to as many as you can as it is a great way to get to know the people you are interning with and get to see new parts of the city and do activities you might have otherwise not done. If you are debating if you should do this program, don't hesitate because it is 110% worth it!

Very amazing program. If there was an issue it got solved very quickly and there was lots of exciting things always happening. I had never gone over seas before so going to Sydney was a very good choice for me. The accommodation was good, there were a few issues at the beginning but it got solved very fast. The food in Sydney is incredible!!! That is something I will really miss when going back to America. Global experiences always made sure we had an abundance of activities and our Program coordinator always responded as soon as possible if we needed something, as well as our coordination back in America. Everything about Australia is wonderful, and all the views are incredible. It is defiantly a place I will come back to when I’m older. So thankful for this experience.

Global Experiences was enjoyable to work with. They made the whole process super easy and smooth, making it easier to adjust to a new country. In the beginning, I was nervous to go through with the program since it was such an adjustment, but GE works with you every step of the way to make sure you are prepared and feel comfortable. The coordinator in Australia was amazing and made sure we were having a pleasant experience and we were getting the most out of our internship experience. The internship placement was everything I asked for. I learned so much from my internship and living abroad, I cannot wait to take what I learned and apply it to my full time job. I made so many amazing memories and friends in Australia and I could not have asked for a better experience.

Sydney, Australia is an incredible place. I had such a great time that I am staying for my whole visa! I met amazing people and have created some amazing friendships. I loved my internship and loved everything about the program. Everyone in this country are so nice and helpful. Transportation is super easy and you learn to love to walk everywhere because when you walk you always find new places and see new things! The food is AMAZING. Lots of healthy options and lots of açaí bowls! The beaches are wonderful and the weather is great! I wouldn’t change this experience for the world! It’s definitely changed my life and super happy that I get to live the Aussie life a bit longer! If you’re on the fence about it, just say yes!!! It opens you up to so many things!

While preparing to get ready for this study abroad everyone through Global Experience was super helpful. The portal they set up for each intern can easily answer all questions but if you wanted to get into more detail they we were eager to help. Adjusting to the new life style can be challenging for some and our director did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their time living in Sydney. She would always post upcoming events happening in the week and that was super helpful to stay busy. If you looked to go outside the city the staff would help point you in the right direction. I was fortunate to get landed in a perfect job because my boss understood I was here to learn but I was also here to explore Australia. Being able to travel and get days off made a huge difference; my work made sure I got the full experience while I was here in Australia. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone.
