IABC APAC University Student Program

Kickstart your career path with
learning, networking, and hands-on experience.

We’re committed to advancing the strategic communication profession.

This program is designed to give students at universities across the Asia Pacific opportunities to:

  • Build a portfolio of published work, readying students for life after university

  • Gain skills in writing, editing, publishing, and campaigns

  • Learn from extremely experienced practitioners from across the region.

Student publishing

Build your portfolio of work by contributing to the IABC APAC website's publishing platform.

Campaign & Project experience

From time to time, IABC APAC runs campaigns and special projects. You can gain experience of working on key projects in a real, operational environment.
