Universal Music Australia are excited to launch our 2024 Internship program. Internships play an important part of our culture at UMA. Most importantly, Internships are an opportunity for university students to gain exposure to the inner workings of a corporate work environment, and to help them determine their career path as they complete their studies.

The UMA Internship program is open to eligible students from tertiary institutions that are required to participate in work placement per the terms of their degree. UMA can only consider candidates who can enrol in the ‘Internship’ unit of study and will need to demonstrate enrolment in this unit before being offered an internship position. Please note, this is an unpaid internship.
