Working with an approved organisation, you will have the opportunity to apply the principles and practices from your chosen field of study in a professional setting through the completion of an internship. Internships provide the opportunity to learn directly from experienced professionals, enhance your discipline-specific and transferable skills, build your network of contacts, contribute to professional projects and activities that have real-world impact, and sample potential career paths. Plus, an internship makes a good impression on a resume - it speaks volumes about your commitment to gaining industry experience and enhancing your employability, even before you have graduated from your course. Internships are normally undertaken in the second or third year (or equivalent) of study.
