Arts Internship Scheme
The Arts Internship Scheme allows students to gain hands on experience and equips them with a range of practical skills, built on the knowledge they have gained during their study. Students are drawn from a range of discipline backgrounds and will be matched with suitable projects dependent on their interests, major study area and experience.
During the course of their internship, students are expected to complete a short academic orientation and some seminars. Students then work on a research task under the joint supervision of an organisational host supervisor and an academic supervisor. By the end of the academic year, students write a report (of about 7 000 words) giving an account of the research project undertaken during the internship.
Final placement will depend upon academic merit, availability and the application of an internal quota. In order to complete the process of placement allocation, students should finalise their enrolment by the completion of the normal enrolment period. This includes making a separate application on the prescribed form for entry to the course.
