As a part of its teaching and learning outcomes the university seeks to prepare students who have the ability, attributes and attitude to engage in discovery learning for their roles as future employees.  At the same time more and more organizations are looking to fill positions with individuals who have work experience and use novel ways to make achievements. Internships enable individuals to develop the skills, attributes, abilities, behaviours, insights and attitudes needed to fill workplace positions successfully while observing, questioning, reflecting on and learning from the practices of job incumbents. They also help to determine if there is a suitable fit between the job aptitudes and expectations of individuals and the organization’s job requirements.

POL Postgraduate Internship is designed to provide students with real life work experience in local and/or international contexts for a clearly defined period of time. Students are expected to gain practical understanding of the professional contexts and operations of public organizations, private sector, NGOs Non-profit organisations or political-related organizations and to apply some of the programme-related theories, skills and work ethics they have learned in the programme curriculum.
