Description
Capstone Experience Course
This internship course aims at providing selected students with an opportunity to work in environments where they will be able to apply their disciplinary knowledge and skills and acquire work experience through on-the-job training. Students may pursue internships that are regularly arranged by SMLC or the Faculty of Arts or those for which they apply and are accepted to undertake, under the guidance of the course coordinator and an academic supervisor, in host organisations which provide relevant experiences, such as in government offices, museums, educational institutions, private companies engaged in trade, PR and media relations, event organisation, research and database creation. The student learning activities include preparation, on-site internship work under the guidance and supervision of an internship supervisor, meetings with the academic supervisor, and associated reading and preparation work, should be completed in the appropriate language for each individual internship which may be English, Chinese, one of the Global and Area Studies languages or a combination thereof. Assessment is based on written reports of a maximum of 3,000 words produced by the students reflecting upon their experiences, feedback from internship supervisors, and presentations that students will give about their work at a formal Global and Area Studies event.
Internships should be conducted at any point between the second semester of year 3 and the end of the second semester of year 4 but the registration is offered at the beginning of the first and second semesters of year 4 only. This course is only open to major students who have successfully completed year 3.
