The course gives students a unique opportunity to network with some of the most powerful people in American politics. The six-week internships in the United States Congress take place in January and February and are available to Australian National University (ANU) undergraduate students.

Students may be eligible for a CASS Travel Grant of up to $3,500 to assist with costs associated with this internship. Read more

Interns work in either the office of a member of Congress or the office of a congressional committee. During their internships students start a research project which they complete during their first semester at ANU.

The internship offers you the opportunity to develop a strong background in American politics and the opportunity to experience political life in Washington DC. You will pursue an advanced program of study and research on a specialised aspect of American Government, politics and public policy.

Admission to this course is highly competitive as there are only six places available each year.
