About the IIA Internship

The IIA Internship is a professional work placement program designed to provide you with practical work experience in an industry related to your field of study.

Placements are arranged specific to your individual needs. Our online application form gives you the choice of industry, location, start date, duration and more. The position you will be offered is generally unpaid and suitable for you if you are currently studying at university (or recently graduated) and are looking to compliment your theoretical knowledge with relevant practical work experience.
