All students of the BASc (Hons) in Arts and Technology programme are required to undertake work experience within their preferred career area during their time of study. A work experience links classroom theory to professional practice, and thus will provide the student with learning experiences beyond the possibilities of the BASc (Hons)- programme. Such experience will be valuable for the student’s professional and personal development, and in particular very helpful in establishing and/or verifying the student’s career intentions. As any internship is not supposed to interfere with the regular studies of the student, it will usually be taken as a summer activity during summer holiday or during term-break.

Work Experience will be self-organised by the student, in a company, corporation, or institutional body related to the arts and technology sectors, or apprenticeship to practicing artist, designer, curator and/or visual arts professionals. To fulfill the course requirement, student needs to attain a workload equivalent to minimum 70 working hours to be taken as one consecutive employment. The nature of work performed by the students during the work experience programme should reflect a reasonable professional level as would be expected in the creative, cultural or technology sectors and to be approved by the Work Experience course coordinator.
