The University seeks to prepare full-time students who have the ability and attitude to engage in discovery learning for their roles as future employees. Internships enable individuals to develop the skills, abilities, behaviours and attitudes needed to fill workplace positions successfully while observing, questioning, reflecting on and learning from the practices of job incumbents. POL 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 or non-profit organisations and to apply some of the major-related theories, skills and work ethics they have learned in the major curriculum. This course is exclusive for students with the home major in Public Policy and Politics.
