INTERNSHIPS
In Mass Communication, we have our Internship Immersion Programme (IIP) over a course of 20 weeks. Students are divided into two groups to head out for internship – namely the Journalism specialization students and also the Public Relations and Marketing Communication students.
The internship programme is designed for us to gain a first-hand experience of the work environment and also for us to apply the knowledge, skill sets and techniques that we have gained from the classroom.
Let’s hear from our students what they have to say about our internship programmes!
