Students participating in the National Expedition and Internship Program

Massey University's National Expedition and Internship Program is open to undergraduate students from any university wishing to study, travel, and intern in New Zealand for 6 weeks in June-July 2018. The program is organised by the ACEJMC-accredited School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, and it begins with the two-week 'Image and Identity Tour', which takes students across both islands to delve into how successful the brands and images of the tourism industry are at capturing the attention of people new to the country and culture.

The tour finishes in the capital city of Wellington, where students stay to complete a four-week internship working on real-world problems relevant to their degrees in Journalism, Media Studies, Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Communication, or related areas.

Exploration of some of the planet’s most spectacular scenery, immersion in Kiwi culture, and engagement with key industry players are all integrated with academic coursework that is worth 6 to 8 U.S. semester credits.

In-country transport, accommodation, and tuition are all included in the program fee, and one can learn more about the itinerary, academics, internships, and student experiences here and here, or connect via the New Zealand National Expedition & Internship Facebook page.

The program runs from June 11 to July 20, 2018, and the application deadline is March 15, 2018.
