Internship
Internships offer students with invaluable experiential learning, and an opportunity to hone your competencies in a safe environment. In a world where employers are looking for graduates with experience, internships can give you a competitive edge when you enter the workforce.
The aims of internships are for students to:
- Apply their computing knowledge in computing-related projects through attachment at organisations. Broaden students’ education by enabling them to appreciate the application of computing knowledge to industrial related projects.
- Build good verbal and written communication
- Demonstrate professional standards and ethics in the workplace
- Better understand the business and career paths in the company/industry
