Other Internship, Employment and Study Opportunities

The following opportunities are not directly funded by the Castan Centre, and in most cases the organisations in question do not provide funding for internships.  Nevertheless, current Monash law students who secure these opportunities may be able to receive funding from the Student Travel Fund.
