Working and research internships
Can I still consider a research internship when my scholarship conditions limit my working to 8 hours a week?

As a research internship is normally completed during your enrolment in your HDR course, it is not treated as employment, even if it is paid. Therefore, the 8 hour working limit does not apply to HDR research internships.
A research internship can be completed full time or part time.
If you are working with a research end user this might be equivalent to a research internship, so please contact internships-grs@uwa.edu.au
