Malaysia, with its diverse and rich background of people from different ethnicities, cultures and religions, offers a truly global setting where to undertake an internship. It is also Australia’s third-largest trading partner within the ASEAN group of countries and Australia’s 11th largest partner internationally.

Although many languages are spoken in Malaysia, English is the predominant business language so that people from many races and nations can work together attracting many multinational corporations.

Doing an internship overseas is a great way to enhance your resume while giving you a chance to develop a network of invaluable contacts. An added bonus is the fact that you may be able to have your internship experience credited towards your university degree.

Internship placements in Malaysia are available at AmBank Group, Bluescope Lysaght, CPA Australia, GHD, Leighton, PetrominWork, SKM, Sarawak General Hospital, Talent2, Thomas Philip and Bovis Lend Lease.  Information on the companies and the internship placements they offer is available from the Malaysia Internships and Studies guide.

Students also have the option to complete a semester exchange or study abroad at one of the universities in Malaysia.
