Student organised internships

If you have organised an internship that is relevant to your law studies, you may be eligible to receive funding through the law faculty’s Student Mobility Fund (SMF). In order to be eligible to apply for an SMF Grant you must first have your internship endorsed by the Faculty and you must meet the student eligibility criteria.

Eligibility criteria

• be enrolled in the Bachelor of Laws (or any Bachelor of Laws double degree) or Postgraduate coursework degree in the Faculty of Law at Monash University and have at least one unit of their law degree to complete at the end of the internship program
• at the time of the internship students enrolled in the LLB or JD programs have completed at least one full-time equivalent year of law (48 credit points) and have achieved a minimum distinction (60%) average; students enrolled in the LLM (not including the JD) programs have completed at least two units (12 credit points) and have achieved a minimum distinction of (60%) average.
• have the ability to complete the internship without compromising law studies or examination periods. 

• be available on return to commit to marketing and promotional activities, including future use of profiles and reports in marketing material.

International Student Restrictions

International students are not currently permitted to undertake internships during semester due to visa restrictions*. However they may be eligible for internships that fall outside of the semester dates and may therefore apply for funding if they meet the eligibility criteria outlined above.

(*This is a Commonwealth Government policy which is currently under review in consultation between Monash International and the Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs)
