Internship Opportunities

Overview

Introduction

As one type of optional co-curricular activities, internships provide great opportunities to enhance the classroom learning of our undergraduate students by letting them gain full-time off-campus working experience relevant to the computing profession during or outside the university term time. By working as interns, students can develop interest in a particular application sector and specialize in it. The experience may also help to increase the chances of employment after graduation.

Duration

Depending on the duration, there are different types of full-time internship:

  • Summer internship (2-3 months)
  • Winter internship (1 month)
  • Half-year internship (6-8 months)
  • One-year internship (12-15 months)

While summer and winter internships are held outside the university term time, longer-term internships such as half-year and one-year internships, sometimes called placements, are taken during the term time and hence require approval for leave from study.

Most companies offering one-year internships only recruit penultimate year students who have completed all except the final year of study.
