As Australia's capital city, Canberra is an ideal place to learn about the Australian Parliament and policy making. It's the home of Australia's federal government and serves as the headquarters for all federal departments as well as for many national associations and lobby groups.

You'll spend two and a half to four days per week for eleven weeks on your internship, and can opt to enroll in the internship course option that includes a component that will introduce you to Australian politics and public policy. Best of all, you won't be in the program with just Americans. Australians from all around the country participate on the program as well. You'll also have access to all of the social activities of Australian National University.
