2010 Washington DC Internship

The University of Wollongong is one of nine Australian universities participating in a program offering opportunities for a total of 12 Australian students to be placed in a US Congressional Office. Previous participants have come from a range of disciplines including international relations, politics, law, political communications, economics, science and American studies. Applicants must have an excellent understanding and appreciation of the American political system and must be able to cover airfare and living expenses. Despite being unpaid, previous interns have found the program invaluable and the experience has opened many opportunities for participants in both Australia and the US.
