The department would provide students with internship opportunities in the summer, and organise various recruitment talks. The objective is to enhance students’ competitiveness for future employment, and to build a channel through which they can reach their potential employers. Students will work in an organisation or a company as interns and complete work assignment that are primarily related to their major study.
The internship is credit bearing, and hence students earn academic credits after satisfactorily completing internship at an approved company or organisation.
