Application Deadlines for Semester 2, 2025

COMMS 307 and CAREER 300 Semester 2 application deadline:
Tuesday 3 June 2025

We advise students to apply for specific projects well before the deadline, as there may be multiple applications for each project. Depending on your organisation requirements you can complete your 80 internship hours either 1-2 days per week during the teaching semester or as a 2-week block before or during the semester.

You may want to arrange your own internship project with an organisation that interests you. In this case, please contact Jane Bradley in advance as part of the negotiation process with a prospective internship supervisor in the organisation. Projects must be at least 80 hours, unpaid and supervised in the organisation.

All Comms307 applicants are required to take part in a pre-internship selection process where you pitch for your preferred project. We will arrange this with you well in advance and require 15 minutes maximum on Zoom.

Submitting your application

1. Submit an enrolment concession for CAREER 300 or COMMS 307
2. We recommend you also enrol in a full semester's worth of courses in case your application is unsuccessful. If you’re accepted, you can withdraw from another course.
3. Get a letter of support from an academic staff member. Download the letter template here and ask your academic referee to email it directly to jane.bradley@auckland.ac.nz by the closing date.
4. Choose an internship project you’re interested in from the projects available page, or seek your own project as per the instructions above.
5. Start crafting a CV specific for your chosen internship. You don’t need to attach this with your application, but you’ll need it later to secure an interview with your chosen organisation. View the example CV below and use it as a template.
