Internship

Internship
Students are required to do internship for two times. The first internship is after finishing year 4, and the second one is during the semester 2 of year 5.
Before the internship period, there is an internship orientation organized by the department for presenting about the instruction and guideline of the internship.
For I4 internship, the period is at least 2 months (preferably 2 months and a half) during August-October. For I5 internship, it is at least 3 months during the whole second semester.
Before internship, students select the field that they want to do internship then looking for the suitable company. Normally, the department provides a list of company that our former students used to do internship. Students can apply for the provided company or look for a new one. Each student is under supervision of a lecturer, called advisor, at the department. During the internship, students are required to meet their advisors at school to validate scope of project, report progress, and slide presentation. The follow-up timeline for each meeting is given by the department, to which the students must follow.
Each presentation of the I4 and I5 internships is 25mn. The time for presentation, demonstration, and Q&A session are 10mn, 5mn, and 10mn, respectively.
Students must contact department within a deadline. Department will then assign students to do internship at school. However, we encourage students to do an internship at a company as they can learn more and adapt to real working environment. Most importantly, students can learn to work in a team and improve communication skills.
