What is Internship

– Internships are off-campus experiential learning activities designed to provide

students with opportunities to make connections between the theory and
practice of academic study and the practical application of that study in a
professional work environment
– Internships offer the opportunity to “try out” a career while gaining relevant
experience and professional connections
– Internships are completed under the guidance of an on-site advisor and a
faculty supervisor, who in combination with the student will create a framework
for learning and reflection
Objective

– Gain practical experience within the business environment.

– Acquire knowledge of the industry in which the internship is done.
– Apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in a controlled work setting.
– Develop a greater understanding about career options while more clearly defining
personal career goals.
– Experience the activities and functions of business professionals.
– Develop and refine oral and written communication skills.
– Identify areas for future knowledge and skill development.
– Help give Reflection on the internship experiences.
Internship Policy Statement

– Searching, applying, doing internships and getting

internship completion certificates, all are sole
responsibility of the students. (Departmental initiatives in
this regard are just a favour for the students)
– All internships are subject to prior approval by the Deputy
Head of Department.
– Since the internship course requires students to get
professional experience off campus, no on campus
internship will be permitted
