The objective of the internship period is to provide students the opportunity to test their interest in a particular career before permanent commitments are made, to help the student develop skills in the application of theory to practical work situations, to develop skills and techniques directly applicable to their careers, to aid students in adjusting from academic environment to full-time employment, and to increase students sense of responsibility

The practical placement gives the student the opportunity to transform the theoretical knowledge obtained during the educational programme into the work environment and hence includes all kinds of work-related activities. The work carried out is compiled in a detailed manner on daily basis in the form of a report which is then approved by the chief staff in the place of work and then submitted to the academic staff responsible for the evaluation and grading of the internship reports.
