Guidelines for Students

To enhance students’ participation in self-solicited internships, four new internship courses (0 credit) were introduced to undergraduate students from College of Science, with implementation from Summer Term 2021.

This course is designed to enhance and enrich students’ educational experience by integrating the academic component of their degree programme with the practical workplace experience gained at the internship site in local and/or international contexts. The course provides an opportunity for students to apply theories, practices, and skills in the workplace setting, and to critically reflect on the efficacy of the knowledge learnt in the classroom. Students work at their host organisations for a minimum of 2 weeks (full-time) or 75 hours (part-time).

Procedures

To enroll in the internship course, students should submit the following assessment documents upon completion of the internship to the College of Science Office (G5351 YEUNG or [email protected]) by the specified deadlines.

1. Internship Reflective Report (Template) - No less than 500 words to reflect upon your major learning and personal gain at the internship placement. The report is subject to internship coordinator’s assessment whether the internship is programme-related and that learning outcomes have been achieved.
2. Employer Evaluation Report (Template) – to confirm student’s satisfactory performance during the internship period.

Course registration will be done by the College if all requirements are met.
