Internships experience

Our internships provide engaged, meaningful and applied work experience which nurtures student understanding, not only of practical skills particular to their area of study but also of intercultural acumen in real-world professional settings and collaborative contexts, as they produce deliverables that tangibly underscore and showcase their educational growth.

Their concurrent participation in a seminar linked to their internship
experience enhances their capacities to constructively reflect upon and
articulate a heightened understanding of their evolving professional
development and career placement strategies.
