Applicants must be permanent residents or Australian citizens, currently enrolled in a UNSW degree program.
A competitive candidate will have achieved a credit minimum in all courses and overall WAM.
Some industry experience is preferable. Having met the academic and experience requirements, the successful applicant is largely selected based on their interpersonal skills and motivation.

Co-op managed Internships may attract UOC and HECs & may count toward your degree*.

Successful completion of an Engineering / Science internship will appear on students’ AHEGS.
